A chapter in the book Reflections For The New Day

The Key To Love

by Jewell McChesney

Revisiting a dreamland bliss,
Where love was found in just one kiss,
Has taken me to truth revealed
Mistaken in a dreamer's field.

The sunrise dawned a sweet surprise,
That love can come in compromise;
Surrendering my selfish pleas,
To wait for truth on bended knees.

Before my eyes I saw a door
Opened wide at heaven's shore.
It glistened in reflections bright
And from it poured revealing light.

A gilded key was in my hand,
unlocking trth and treasures, grand,
By just one quest to God alone,
My burdens lifted at His throne.

I heard a voice so loud and clear,
Reminding me that love was near;
"It's not from man you'll find release,
Love will come when you find peace."

This peace will pour out from my heart,
A love for me will be the start.
I first must love myself discreetly,
To love human kind completely.

For if I have no love for me,
The love of others could not be.
The key I hold is to my soul-
I'll give it freely when I'm whole.
