We have received
A gift
It is a gift of
True beauty
It is a gift we
Have yet to receive
To it's full
Extent
It is a gift that
We truly do not deserve
It is a God given
Gift
Our world was given
The gift of
Music!!

I agree with the sentiment of the poem and like the idea that we haven't yet received the gift to its fullest extent.  I do think, though, that the exclamation points at the end are a little unnecessary and take away some of the impact of the poem

You are an amazing short poem writer yourself. I love this poem because it speaks of music. I love music.

Another great poem!  My only criticism is the ending line.  "Music!!" should only have one exclamation point.

Other than that, great job!
