Natasha L Scragg Poet List

The Key To

The key to understanding is empathy.
The key to happiness is to give.
The key to contentment is appreciation.
The key to peace is to forgive.
The key to broaden horizons in an open mind.
The key to knowledge is humility.
The key to wisdom is to listen.
The key to joy is not to question, " Why me? "
The key to the soul is to reach the heart.
The key to the heart is love.
The key to love is kindness.
The key to kindness is to others think of.

So in life there are keys a plenty.
They have many a purpose and feature.
They open things that are empty.
They keep locked safe things kept for the future.
