Opening Doors

Old woman let me help. I can get that door for you. The sadness in your face says it all. It's the least that I can do. So many years have passed you by . The end is coming near. Have you lived your life complete, or do you leave your life in fear? I can see a tear of pain as I look into your eyes. You say you have regrets and that you wish you were more wise. You lived your life for others. For that you stand with pride. But sometimes you question why when you look in from the other side. Your ailing body once was strong. I'm following close behind. For my yesterdays seem far away. Sometimes time can be unkind. You once stood here in my shoes . One day I'll stand in yours. It will be me on the other side of someone opening up the door. My eyes will say it all , as they do when I look into yours. So many things that we can see from opening people's doors.
