Keys in my pockets

Open many doors

Leading to the rooms

Holding family lore

Stories of babies

Told with pride and love

Parents who are cooing

Like the morning dove

Keys in my pockets

Open many doors

Leading to the rooms

Holding family lore

Children shout and play

Running out and in

Parents roll their eye

Smiling through the din

Keys in my pockets

Open many doors

Leading to the rooms

Holding family lore

Teens strive and struggle

Wanting to be free

Of their parent's rules

"Please just let me be!"

Keys in my pockets

Open many doors

Leading to the rooms

Holding family lore

Young adults step out

Of the family home

Learning to survive

Setting up their homes

Keys in my pockets

Open many doors

Leading to the rooms

Holding family lore

Adults return with

Babies in their arms

Grandparent kisses

Hugs that keep us warm

Keys in my pockets

Open many doors

Leading to the rooms

Holding family lore
