 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Open Doors...Not Closed!


There are no closed doors,
Only the ones not yet open...

No matter what happens in our life,
And no matter how hurtful or sad,
No matter the thoughts or feelings of others,
And no matter the reason it's bad...

So face up to your fears,
And take the bull by the horns,
Pull back the petals and buds,
Release the hidden thorns.

Don't let anyone rule your life,
And don't take any blame,
Live your life, tis up to you,
This is not a game...

You can't live for others but yourself,
And you can't stay depressed and down,
You need happiness and freedom in life,
Not to live each day in frown.

Go boldly where you know you should,
And beat back the flame of defeat,
Take back control of your life,
Move forward not into retreat!

We live but once and before we die,
We need to know we did our best,
One life, one shot is all we have,
This is no trial or test.

There are no closed doors...
Only the ones not yet open!

So open them!
