The Doorway

Past The Doorway I See
My Whole Life Ahead Of Me
My Future Unfolds
With Treasures Untold
Walking Through This Place
Through The Dark 
Corridors Of My Past
Shadows And Old Memories Lurk
In The Corners That Contain My Hurt
My Footsteps Slow And 
They Come To A Stop
In Front Of A Brand New Door
That's Missing A Lock
Turning The Knob, A New World
Opens Up Before My Eyes
And I'm At A Loss Of Breath
Peace And Joy All Around Me
With No Suffering People Or Pain
Is Such A Wonderful Sight
I Am Happy Again
And Full Of Delight.
