The Key

Good Morning,
The following poem is small, but one of my favourite pieces. Not only is it very true - it's also wise. I guess some would call it a quote!

My Grandfather Horris, was small in stature, but huge of heart. Wise beyond his years and kinder than the truest of loves. He once told me that the grandest of things, come in the smallest of packages. He was clearly referring to himself and how true his words were. He imparted in me some of the most beautiful thing I have ever known.  This is so true of this free verse poem. which I dedicate to him.


The Key

I can write the words you need to read

I will speak the words you need to hear

I can show you the doors through which
you need to walk

But it is you alone who holds the key to
release you from your chains.
