A Poem: Just Once

I have a rich and full life.
I am not dissatisfied in the least.
I, just once, would like to know. Just once.
Just once to know.

My life is a dream.
I smile at the gifts I have been given.
But just once would like to know. Just once.
That something so elusive.....that something which can never be mine.

It's a lesson I have to learn.
To be forever a lonely member of a most admired club.
Watching, greedily, as others do as I cannot.
To shake my head and cry.
Just once.
