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...

I was intrigued by the title of the poem. A skeleton key, a key to unlock any secret. Yes, you are right James, as humans we will try and accumulate treasures on earth, but ultimately are the ones on heaven that count. Blessings my friend! :)

truly meaningful Jimmy. Thoughts are so wise and very nicely portrayed.
Simplicity of words make it even more good.
We can't take all our money with us, but when we die we can get a ticket to heaven if our heart is a pure loving gold.
