Life Is a Journey With Many Doors We Must Open

Life is a journey that is anything but turnkey Full of many doors that we must open As we find our way through another day There are so many doors to choose from Before all the opportunities Will just flee or get by me So we have to try to always reach for the sky Turning all of life's opportunities on high We have to let some pass us by For every new door that opens We need to test the waters As they come ashore We must not ignore what makes us soar Before the next door closes We need not worry or get in a hurry About all the doors that are so blurry For every new door that brings opportunity Should allow us to foresee Which are key for us to agree Moving forward before the next door closes We have to let go of those doors That brings the doubt without clout That turns our world all about Making us want to shout Why we figure out Why we all stumble and fumble Surely these are the doors that we must close Because everybody knows it all makes us grow Into the person, we have come to know So take it nice and slow And just find the right flow Life is what you make it So don't fake it Or break it But rather Make it your own

Thank dear sweet silent one for your sincere compliments and warm welcome to this site. I am new to p.s. I have to say that I like it very much very user friendly with lots of resources for writers with very visual aids to track our poems.I was fortunate to win post of the day on my second day of being on the site so I got a real good vibe with many who messaged me. The site just feels right and I see much to come in the future. Have a wonderful day silent one
