An Unexpected Gift

by September 18, 2025 0 comments

Happiness came to you,
Unexpected, undeserved.
Think of it as a gift
Delivered to the wrong place,
With an illegible return address.

Keep it. It’s yours.
Who can say otherwise?
Care for it. Help it grow.
Who knows? One day
It might thank you
For all you have done.
While you thank that gift
Every day
For arriving at all
And having stayed.
