The Door

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. ~ Milton Berle

I needed a job-money and more,                                                                    
I knocked on door after door.                                                                       
All doors were closed,                                                                                
now what will I do.                                                                                              
I will be brave,                                                                                              
I will build a door.                                                                                    
The door will be built out of,                                                                       
learning-reading and floral school.                                                               
A business I will start,                                                                             
my creativity will take me through the door.
