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. Edited: May 22, 2023, 9:35 A.M. (EST)
