Looking For Something
Have you found your key yet?
The one that is useless to all but yourself,
One that you can't buy off the shelf,
Or borrow from an Elf.
Have you found your key yet?
The one that will open the many possibilities,
And increase the probabilities,
Of the full use of your abilities.
You will know when you have found your key,
For something you will see,
That you never thought could be,
That will suit you to a tee.
You will know you have found your key,
When you start looking forward with pleasure,
To things that you never thought to measure,
And never counted as treasure.
Once you have found your key,
You will always be looking forward to something,
That will give your day some meaning,
Even when your head is spinning.
Now you have your own special key,
Nothing to look forward to will be buried in your past,
Along with your last negative blast,
As finding something to look forward to becomes your new task
Now you have your key,
Looking back will hold no terrors,
As you are now at peace with your past errors,
And see only good things to look forward to in all your mirrors.
