Key
Can You Find Me
I unlock the door to a castle. I got dropped among the fallen leaves.
They forgot about me? I have been stepped on by the animals in the forest.
I got peed on . I had rusted through the years. Did they even tried to find
me? I say not. For I open a most treasured home of a noble man. Who will
try to pick me up and take me home. I am priceless and one of a kind of
Key. Yet, they just past me by even when the sun shine on me. I look
Like I am made of the finest gold. Did my castle lock forever more, when
they lost me?
Finally, a child pick me up and place me in his warm pocket. What will
he do to me. He showed me to his parents. They told the child to throw me
away because I was dirty and useless to them. Little did they know, I am a
Key to a beautiful castle of a noble man? I think not for I am precious.
The child kept me in his pocket until his mother washed his clothes and I
Was thrown away forever more.
I road a smelly truck that took me to a mountain of junk. I will never be
found here. I see a lot of missed place keys here. They don’t look as antique
as me at all. Yahhh, people are coming. I will finally be found. I hope they
are adults. They can take me home and investigate where I belong. For
I am a castle key to a noble man.
I was finally picked up by a giant magnet machine. Where will it take
me. I hope to my castle, where I belong. I was in a truck full of mental.
I don’t think I will see my castle today. Why is it dark in here? I think I am
placed in a box. What kind a box is this? I cannot tell but I know it’s very
dark in here.
I am being given as gift. I hear people sing Happy Birthday, song. They
finally open me up from the box I was placed in. I have not been in
anyone’s hands for months on end. I finally I can feel the warmth of a
human touched.What will this new human who owns me do to me? I hope
they know I am a key to a noble man’s castle.
I am place in a key ring with other keys. All the other keys are shaped the
same except for me. They seem to open doors to buildings, rooms and
vehicles except for me. I am stuck with these keys. I feel so useless. I am
just a key for decoration. How can this be, I am a Key to a nobleman’s
Castle.
Great, my new owner missed place all of the keys on the keychain. He
drop us on the drive way. He cannot get in the house without us. Look he
is coming back. Look like he finally found us. He place us in his pocket.
He took us back out of his pocket. He place one of the key inside the door
Lock. He open the the door. He put us back in his pocket.
Look like he is getting undress and changing to his house clothes. He
Placed us on top of his bedside table. I guess this is my home now.
I belong to somebody now. I may never unlock a castle door of a
nobleman. I just hope I will never be missplaced or lost again.

Poor key! Gives some perspective about being lost ❤️
That was really good, It made me smile although I felt sorry for the key
Poor key, at least now it can be happy with lots more keys for company.
Great job. Well done.
