Forty

He heads through change like so many before 
while her eyes follow him as he opens the door 
There's no turning back not even in thought  
Gone now are two lives who once only fought 
Age 40 reveals . . . lesson taught. . .

Isn't it extraordinary how one inert door knob
can change lives forever

Jan Allison Date: 1/25/2016 1:18:00 PM When one door closes another one opens ... sometimes we have to let go and move on. I think there are many who can relate to this sad ending of a relationship but often it is for the best.
