I Close the Door

I closed the door So small so young when it all began A child so sad with her mother gone So I closed the door Through school children and teachers could be so cruel. Constantly made to look and feel like a fool Bullied with words, left out of the team Made to feel different that’s how it seemed So I closed the door Early teens were but a changing time Not really a child or adult in mind Somewhere between I found myself thinking Somewhere between I thought I was sinking So I closed the door Young woman, great job, good friend’s great man by my side Who could want more for the first time in my life I felt so alive Great partys,great home,great money what more could I wish for If only I knew what was around the corner what was in store So I closed the door A wife a mother a future ahead Before I new what was happening it had all gone dead So I closed the door Many years went by as if in a dream Some good some bad that’s how it seemed Years go by and you start to loose family and friends Not sure when its your time when your life will end So I closed the door Getting old now I look back at my life and think Life can be good and it can also stink But I also believe it has a lot to do with the start you were given It’s not always your thought and you can be forgiven If by chance I could return in a new body and new time Life would be so different I am sure of this in my mind So yet again I close the door
