Listen to poem:

Behind Closed Doors

Behind closed doors
It’s plain to see
We have our quirks

The way we carry on
Acting half our age
We’re mostly looney tunes

Yet no one would ever guess
We love to clown around
Laugh and snort out loud

We like to be ridiculous
We’re often very frivolous
Silly loopy and giddy

For sure they’d lock us up
If ever they caught up with us

I am me behind close doors. Someone once wrote, God permits us to grow older in order that we may learn, and by learning, we grow younger in spirit.
