The Lost Key

May 7, 2025

I searched for hours, the house a mess,  
The key was gone, no sign, no trace.  
I turned the place upside down 
Under the couches, in the cabinets, all around. 
Through the closet and the clothes, 
Feeling angry and growing old. 
Then with a sigh I checked my pocket  
There it was a tiny locket 
The key I’d lost tucked in there,  
I’d carried all along unaware. 
A lesson I learned from this mess, 
Check your pockets before the stress!
