'a Closed Door To a New Beginning'

Even when you feel lost There is always a way Of finding direction Somehow we tend to look At a closed door As our last chance, Wishful for it to open Meanwhile open doors Are begging for some attention Just a little nudge That is all it would take But we tend to be afraid, Fearful of the unknown Wasting our hopes and dreams On doors that was never Meant for us to open Look beyond that closed door Open yourself up to that And move past The ones that were closed in your face… 110620111225

yes, you're so right, Wilma. Perhaps those doors that closed in our faces were never really open anyway ..although at times it's hard to believe that. Maybe just ajar a bit to sneak a little learning in? I see you have learned much and I shall try and remember that in my day to day living..... but then again ...memory is certainly not my strong suit, : )

Terrific wisdom Wilma, sometimes it's not easy to go through the closed doors. But you will never know what's beyond unless one does :)

Wow! Very philosophical, Wilma. I'm not one to let closed doors stop me from turning the knob. But once a door is closed in my face, there is no option but to move on. Awesome write, dear! Love, Carolyn

There is a good deal of truth in your words Wilma, this sort of unembellished truth we all need to read...!
