 +==== THE KEY ==== 
 +ALL THAT I craved belonged to me, 
 +\\ God held the gifts and I the key; 
 +\\ And yet I would not understand, 
 +\\ In petulance and discontent 
 +\\ Full many a wasted year was spent. 
 +\\ I cried, “How cruel is the fate 
 +\\ That bids me work and weep and wait 
 +\\ For things which make life worth the living, 
 +\\ Nor rob the giver in the giving! 
 + 
 +A little joy, a little wealth, 
 +\\ Result from toil, abundant health; 
 +\\ A chance to do, a chance to be—” 
 +\\ And then I looked and found the key; 
 +\\ Right in my heart I carried it, 
 +\\ Divinely fashioned, formed to fit 
 +\\ The lock of God’s great reservoir 
 +\\ Which held the things I hungered for. 
 + 
 +The key was Love—pure gold acrust 
 +\\ With glittering gems of faith and trust. 
 +\\ It fits all doors, it turns all locks; 
 +\\ It leads the way through walls and rocks; 
 +\\ It lifts all bolts, unbars the gate, 
 +\\ And shows us where Life’s treasures wait. 
 +\\ Oh! are there heights thy feet would press? 
 +\\ Seek Love, the key to all success. 
 +\\ —Author Unknown.
