I was then a child
When I sensed it first
I knew I had something
But no idea what it was
I kept it with me. For then,
I knew not what to do
Later in life, when I looked back
It was there lying in the dust
I picked it up
Rubbed it on my clothes
Expecting the genie of Aladdin
But I got a different kind of treasure
An abundance of joy and ecstasy
A feeling like never before
A feeling that I could enjoy
