Everything

I lost Everything.
I looked in all the usual places and I couldn’t find it.
I looked in the cupboard, in the Horn of Plenty.
I looked in the vaults of the Bank in the City.
I looked on every page of the Books of Knowledge,
But I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I walked along the street asking all the people there
But they didn’t know where Everything could be.
A lady said the Government had hidden it away.
A man thought he’d seen it in a villa by the sea.
An old man said he’d had it when his wife was still alive
But she’d been gone for ages now; he didn’t have a clue.
At last, I tried a little child, playing in the sand.
He told me where to find it and sure enough, I did -
He’d had it in his pocket all the time.
Mummy had given it to him when she’d kissed him on the head.
He shared a little bit with me, and I went home, to bed.
