Gift Riddle

A lady gave me a gift she had not; And I received her gift I took not; She gave it me willingly and yet she would not; And I received it, albeit, I could not: If she give it me, I force not; And if she take it again, she cares not. Consider what this is, and tell not; For I am fast sworn I may not.

You possess me always but may touch me not,
Give me away for I’m all that you’ve got.

Though I am but one you may give me a lot,

Never fear that your gift will leave you with naught

With you I’ll remain, I cannot be bought.

E is for Enigma
