Open or Closed Doors “Many a door has to fall before a soul can answer God’s call.” Quote - Poet’s own There are no doors put on earth for mankind only in buildings built from human grind. God created a world easy to roam for members of the world’s family home. We assemble doors to our hearts and souls open or closed, they’re under our control. Doors open wider as confidence grows becoming stronger as wind of time blows. Leave doors open if your goal is to greet all folk with kindness whoever you meet. Guard your door and watch those who enter in be wary of those harbingers of sin. 25th July 2021 Doors Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anthony Biaanco ((((Honourable mention))))

Locks are for safety. Leave a door unlocked and you never know what could happen. Sad truth indeed. Doors of the heart, one must be careful. Your thoughts caress softly around me. This is so beautifully written and presented. Hugs, Brandy

So was I Rico, though I remember a night long ago someone stole my mothers washing off the line, that caused quite a hardship being one of five kids. Thank you… Belle
