There is a gift that's sure to please,

More precious than pure gold.

A gift that's meant for everyone

From the young to the old.

It is a very common gift

That's impossible to hide,

And, oh, so very popular-

It's easily found worldwide.

It is a very fragile gift

That should be nourished with great care,

And although it is quite common,

It can also be quite rare.

Everyone at times has had it;

People enjoy it everyday,

But it seems to have more value

When it is freely given away.

Even thought this gift is priceless,

It's no good to us unless

We share this gift with others-

This great gift is happiness.
