Happiness Found Me

I'm filled to the brim with happiness,
just like a bird in flight.
I feel a presence surround me
though I do not see lts sight.

No matter, I know it's there.
It's palpable in my heart.
I'm deliriously happy that I found it
before my time to depart.

What it is I'm not sure of?
I've never found it before.
Do I need to identify what it is
or just feel it in every pore?

I've accepted the fact that it found me
and when it did I knew
that I had been lost without it,
like a bird that never flew.
