Standing on the mountain of my dreams <br />looking over the world from high <br />I am three steps from heaven <br />in the cradle of my dreams. <br />No more the dream from afar <br />the door is now open to explore <br />the heights of heaven <br />and the good earth below. <br />I look not for treasures <br />made with silver and gold, <br />but of friends and friendship <br />and the wealth that they hold. <br />Now here I am standing <br />three steps from heaven <br />for the entire world to see. <br /> <br /> <br />28 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/three-steps-to-heaven/
