A Key's Design
O small creation of mine
What door shall you open?
Your purpose lays in the movement of my fingers
But your place is not with me
Its out in the world
I shall put you to good use
I am dependent to you as
Baby is to her mother
My entrance is found only in your abilities
Once we are tried together, its forever
Connected to be found
Yet always forgotten under the couch
And our screeching dulcet alerts our presence
When found a departure is near
Your abilities are useless against me
Many have fallen like the Walls of Jericho
I laugh at the sound of your failure
Now I will be known as your worst enemy
Changes have to be made but your purpose remains
You return to my hands only to remind you who you are
Precious and Resourceful: they shall call you
Let the world know all the doors you can open
