The Porch

The Porch If someone opens their door for you, and they invite you in They would understand if you choose to stay on the porch But when you walk on by, with hardly a smile It’s hard to know why you walk in the rain When they see you each day, and you often seem sad You’re so sure of yourself, but not quite complete You think what you need, is what you’re looking to find But life is too short, for what is now late Remember the door that was opened for you Remember the one who has invited you in Maybe there’s more than what meets your eye Even if only…. to get warm and dry If you knock on my door, I will answer for you I will give you my coat and we’ll talk on the porch I hope that you’ll stay and find shelter from rain I hope that you see me And let me in But, if you walk on by, with no hint of a smile I know, that I will be sad I gave it a try, but it seems like goodbye As you fade away….
