`Tis given not to everyone <br />Who walks along life's road. <br />And though I've waited all my life <br />It's never been bestowed. <br /> <br />For it's a gift not meant for me. <br />Its sender knows me not. <br />It bears a tag without my name - <br />This gift I've always sought. <br /> <br />And so I fear that I shall not <br />Its ribbon e'er untie. <br />Yet it's a gift I want so much <br />It almost makes me cry. <br /> <br />So I'll not end my quest for it. <br />For life without this gift <br />Is just a lonesome wait for Death <br />To help the burden lift.<br /><br />Lone Dog<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gift-of-happiness-2/
