Listening to every heart

The Key

In trust I was given a key,
My love said “Please, keep this for me,
For it fits only my heart,
It promises us our start.”
On a chain lies the golden key.

On a chain lies the golden key,
I wear it next near my heart,
Though we may still be apart
This touch of key thrills me
As it warms the beat of my heart.

For this key was given in trust,
By a love that is good and just,
For he loves only me
It’s carved within this key,
Though alone my feet step through the dust.

A promise was made from his eyes
A future we’ll someday realize,
For I am held to his key
As true his heart is within me
We’ll someday have reason for sighs.

He went off to do as he would
For his honor is true, and is good,
A chain holds this, his key
Tis his promise, you see…
Thus, in trust, was I given his key.

To have such a love... or even the promise of such a love... is to have the gift of a lifetime. *S* Beautiful work!

Beautiful poem of loyalty and love.
You have a way of making things that touch everyone's life so meaningful.
But, then, that's what makes you a poet.

Take care
