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.
