Behind Closed Doors

Behind closed doors Do you wonder what lies behind a door that's closed? And are you curious about what might be exposed? The door itself may give a clue as to what lies behind What does a red door on a city street bring to mind? Behind church doors the choir goes to pray and sing But behind swinging doors do the patrons really swing? And what goes on behind the green door who dares to say For we all know that it’s not just a piano that they play What’s behind a pantry door may reveal a personality With precision rows and Tupperware suggesting OCD Behind closet doors truth and skeletons are concealed But when coming out of the closet secrets are revealed Hotel doors are secured by codes and lock and key And what happens behind is protected by confidentiality Welcome Mr and Mrs Smith, I hope you enjoy your stay Be assured we will not give you’re your secrets away Pick a door any door, what lies behind concealed If you choose to gamble your fate will be revealed. Door one, two or three, be careful which you choose For one has riches, but the other two, you lose! We never truly know what lies behind closed doors Would you want anyone to know if that door was yours? The door that must be open is the door to your mind Now that is a door that we should all take a look behind. 20 April 2020

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
