Hidden

Hidden in that frenzy
away from all the light of day
sits something I don't want to see
and would rather push away
if only I could cover it
with anything at all
and end up quite oblivious
to escape its call
But it's not nature's way
to allow just such a thing
what needs to see the light of day
won't hide successfully
A little tip will peak its nose
through all attempts to hide
and it's more willful than supposed
it will not be denied
Fruitless and a waste of time
to try so hard to keep it hidden
I'll take a peak and surely find
a gift that has been bidden
And as I bring it out to see
the darkness has no power
the gift is ever mine to keep
with blessings I am showered
