National Poetry Month’s Poem-A-Day 30-Day Challenge: Day 9
KEY FOB
You know I can press your buttons.
After fifty years of marriage,
that’s something we know something about.
A soul-mate’s soul is a map on display,
and shows the way in and shows the way out.
With a click and a chirp I can unlock your laughter
even after I’ve driven you crazy.
Maybe that’s the magic of time.
Because I can be across the room
and see what you need before you do,
and open the door you are coming to.
Just the same I can be unkind,
lock you out in favor of me.
Just because I have a key
doesn't mean I always use it.
But know this, darling, I would be lost
if ever I happen to lose it.
