To Walk Out Your Door
It takes uncertainty, I know
to walk out your door
and walk through another that’s not yours
Of course, there’s too a course
that other, unfamiliar, shoes use
There are signs and there are signs
not always along the way
There is opportunity
there is stop’n wait’n see
choices others can’t make
You’ll find too, things that go wrong. . . far from the right
Afternoon. . . turns to morning. . . skips to night
There is certain to be a promise. . . a goal. . . a loss
and love’s. . . not yet in the toss
Advice listened, taken and given
Too few things, too many things. . . you’ll come to know
It takes certainty
to walk out your door
