There are times when happiness descends Just like a god out of a clear blue sky. We make hard choices, not quite knowing why, Only hoping to pursue our ends. And yet we cannot see beyond time's bends, Nor ever know where our true interests lie, Nor love, and not at times our love belie, Unaware of what some act portends. So now the child you once gave up returns, A joy you never dreamed your life would hold, And truth so near your heart, at last revealed, Within you like a sacred fire burns. Thus sometimes do mysteries unfold, Restoring gifts that time has long concealed. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
