Gift better than Himself God doth not know,
Gift better than God no man can see;

God is my gift, Himself He freely gave me,
God’s gift am I, and none but God shall have me.”
― Robert Southwell
(also known as Saint Robert Southwell–a martyred English Catholic Jesuit, known for being a clandestine missionary in Post Reformation England)

explored
enjoyed

anticipation
joy
happiness
