The Skeleton Key...

The Skeleton Key...

If you had a skeleton key and this key could unlock
any door, safe or vault,

What lock in your life would you use it on?

My guess would be the majority of the world would use
the key to to crack open a safe or vault, because the majority
of this selfish and greedy world believes that wealth would
buy them happiness,

Now don't get me wrong, becoming wealthy is much
to desire, but money can't buy love and when you die
you can't take it with you,

I believe that love is the key to happiness and true love,
I believe if your heart is made of gold then you are
plenty wealthy, spiritual wealth is the key to Gods bank
and love will open any meaningful vault,

By the way, you can take a golden heart with you when you die
to heaven and it will match the streets,

So let me ask you, who needs a skeleton key
If a golden heart overflowing with love is the key
to this life and eternal life?

If I had a skeleton key I would unlock your
hearts and minds to this idea...

Locks are not made to keep thieves out but rather to keep an honest man honest but I admire the use you choose if you had the key thanks for sharing God bless

If such a skeleton key exists, I would happily hand it to you! I like the concept, creative yet simple :) Had not thought to do that myself, but reading it I think 'of course, what an obvious solution - why have no one thought of that before!' , haha :)

This is an extremely accurate and brutal poem. Many people favor wealth over love these days and it is quite heartbreaking. Kudos to you for exposing this!

God holds the key in His hand all we have to do is reach out to Him to get it. Nice write..Valentine

A skeleton key can only open up a path to more skeletons. Sometimes we trade our most precious golden hearts for wealth of lesser value. Keep unlocking the minds.

That was very vivid and heartwarming and true. Hearts of gold are the real answers, not skeleton keys. I hope who do not realize it in their life, will at least realize it when death approaches.

I really like the ending. Love is the most sacred form of worship, the mightiest form of devotion to God. Loving ourselves(flaws and all), all other humans and all creatures created by the Almighty is loving him.

Amen!Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!
