Who Is Knocking At My Door

Who is knocking at my door?! I wonder as I stood from the table. Who could possibly be peeping through my peep hole For I am puzzled. Could it be the police to take me away? For a crime uncommitted? No it must be a homeless shelter Asking for my admittance. Lord knows we're all a bill away from that place And a bill away from robbing a bank. But it's quiet like a mouse and the house is still. My imagination? So I sit and stare at my stress on paper And someone knocked again. "Who is it?" I screamed this time and yet no answer No answer so it must be my wild imagination Or maybe it's the government asking for more money Making me work hard only to extort me? Ha! What's new? I wouldn't be surprised Maybe if I don't answer they will go away Boom boom boom There's the damn door again. Can't you see I'm drowning silently in my problems? Who is at my door bothering me this hour? Society and their opinions? The ones who's priorities are all mixed up? The people who maybe actually need help? Who is it? Who is it?! And most of all why? Why of all doors they came to mine? Life is beating on me and I have bills to pay Unless you're Opportunity go away! 3 Knocks again I get up this time I ran so fast I almost flew to witness Who could it possibly be Peeping through my peep hole Surprised I opened the door to see Faith and Hope smiling back at me "I thought I lost you how'd you find me?" I cried "We received your call when you prayed" Who was knocking at my door? Well it was a blessing indeed.

Great job, Corrine...I think many of these thoughts each time the next creature comes to my door - the religious zealot, the solar gal, the pest control guy, the Postal service, the kids selling candy/cookies...why my door?
