Picture by Thomas Kinkade, Poem "Stairway to Paradise" Inspired by the beauty That each day tends to give We set out on a journey To find how best to live We walk by faith and not by sight As step-by-step we climb Upon this stairway, upward, Toward Heaven’s paradise The steps are sometimes difficult But each day made complete By treasured moments that we share And a promised place of peace Finally our steps ascend Beyond the veil of life Destiny unfolds in glory In Heaven’s paradise
