| Open Doors |
| Everywhere I turn, I find another open door The challenging part is seeing them and knowing I can't close them So many would I like to come to Walk through and stay But, they're only doors A couple of these doors surprised me And forever was I puzzled that they weren't closed by another I struggled to understand and still really don't At this point in my life, I'd prefer to close them all In frustration, do I instead simply turn away And just continue my journey A good friend of mine told me once You've got to realize that there are some doors you simply cannot close At the level of the soul I know this but still it's a challenge for me Many of these doors represent the potential of my dream Of love, of happiness, of a life shared But, the time is just never quite right. So, I go on...acknowledge the doors left open And hope that someday I'll hear a familiar voice calling from one of them Hope is one thing and reality another This I know...so I journey on inspite of the doors Wrestle joyously with difficulty acknowledging their presence And look for new doors to open |
