Key

On that fateful day Your soul did soar You left your love forevermore So search as I may On that fateful day No sign could I see From you to me It felt as if my heart had broken Those final days no words were spoken But as I searched through every drawer A key to your heart I suddenly saw Slowly unlocking a large leather book Your journal Your diary Words precious Words unheard Words of love Words of pain Words to say we’d meet again Words of love from you to me Words here in perpetuity Written 13th September 2021 Contest ‘K’ Contest Sponsor Constance La France FIRST PLACE Contest A STRAND (1053) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE
