The Key Within

 The dawn awakens with a soft embrace

A chance to breathe, to see the sky

Though shadows linger from the night before

The light is ours, we just must try


A moment comes, the world seems gray

The road ahead feels steep and high

Yet in our hearts, the spark remains

It's up to us to soar or sigh


We paint the day with colors bright

Or leave it bare in shades of rain

The brush is ours, the canvas wide  

It's we who choose the joy or pain


The winds may howl, the storms may come

But we decide to dance or run

The power's not in what we face

But how we stand when all is done


No fortune grants us lasting peace

No magic potion sets us free

The joy we seek is born within 

A quiet choice, a calm decree


We build the castles of our dreams 

Or tear them down with careless hands

Happiness, like gentle streams

Flows where we shape its shifting sands


In every laugh, in every tear

We hold the power, we hold the key

To turn the lock and let it in

The joy we own, our destiny


So as we walk this winding road

Let’s carry hope, let shadows flee

For in our hearts, the truth remains

The light of happiness starts with me
