Notes About The Poem

It Knocked, So I Built a Door

Someone once said, 

        "If opportunity doesn't knock, 
         build a door." 

                  ~ Milton Berle

It Knocked, So I Built A Door

Building doors, and other construction, 
That I performed
Was the most incredible opportunity 
That I couldn't ignore.

I'm at a retired state now, 
From being a carpenter stake
But it was such a great adventure 
I had to take. 

The building, like "Jesus did, 
When God became Man."

Great profession it was in like kind,
That one could achieve in his mind.
If its indeed in your heart,
A passion that you possess.

You'll succeed there it's guaranteed, 
A success! 

Opportunity knocked again for me, 
But in a place, I never thought I would be
In a field of study, different from before
In the literary world of creative writing, 
Sometimes about doors.

So, here I sit, writing as I do,
The grandest of opportunities
That now displays to you.
A muse, if you wish, to me, 
A product of options success.
