The Walls Before Us

Many sit and just stare at them Others turn and face away But walls are there for purposes That you must find today There are so many just so drab No brightness to provide The people that just look upon Seem so shy and hide There are some painted oh so bright That perk and do inspire It’s those brightly painted walls That kindle many a fire There are some, too, with windows there To provide a viewer, view A pristine outlook upon the world A daily escape so true Yet others may also have a door That opens to outside Those walls offer opportunity As people then can’t hide They walk on through, take the day They enjoy the midday sun And venture, too, under the moon To share a life of fun Whatever wall, that you may choose Remember, it’s your own Decide how you wish to view it now For life, do not postpone
