Keys (audio)

The teasing that makes us not want to be found

The smile that can turn a bad day around

The neglect that crushes our id and ego

The teacher that inspires us…to grow

The harsh response that keeps us from sharing

The kindness that leads to deeper caring

The criticism that stifles creativity

The bond that seals our intimacy

The negative assumption that makes it hard for us to hear

The support that takes away our fear

The vibe that puts us on our guard warily

The countenance that makes us trust easily

The misunderstanding that causes an unnecessary fight

The success that leads us to try again with all our might

The thoughtlessness that our heart does deceive

The love that makes us believe

Every key turns both ways

So what will you unlock today?
