The Right Door You Win, the Wrong Door You Lose

When you grow older there are fewer doors
You must pick one if you are to survive
The first may take you to distant shores
The second may just help you stay alive.
But the third one will inspire you to grow
Find new friends, new places you can explore
A new lease on life, you just never know
You could find contentment just like before!
If you choose door number four, just beware
You could trip in the dark, so close that door
It’s the wrong choice, so don’t even go there
Let’s take a step back, and look at the score.

It’s not a game show, think before you choose
The right door you win; the wrong door you lose!
