Unlocked
Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us,
spoken one word of encouragement to us,
or simply believed in us,
has entered into the makeup of our character,
as well as our success
And through our everyday choices
including those we choose to surround us
and the experiences we choose to embark on
we create ourselves.
It all begins with a thought
a thought that plants a seed
a seed that results in a action
much like planting a flower
If a sunflower seed is well cared for
it will grow bearing sunflowers
an act of kindness bears the capactity to create many results
and whether an action is positive or negative
or whether the seed will grow or not
is dependent on the nature of the thought
We must then choose to unlock the potential of those we love
much like a key does for a lock
The ragged edges of the key suit the equal but opposite edges of the lock
The lock is not perfect and neither is the key
but nothing is more perfect than a key for a lock
unlocking potenital and respecting what is inside
the key unlocks
vulnerable yet safe after its baggage has shown
the lock
supported and protected by the key's ablity to keep secrets and dark truths
there are no secrets between the key nor the lock
