Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Wait and See

when one door closes another opens
offering its array of solutions and remedies
untold possibilities you had not foreseen
we choose what we want to see
dreams astray not long lost or forsaken

when one door closes another opens
to a universe brimming with mysteries
opportunities where obstacles had been
we choose what we want to see
appears the silver lining not to be mistaken

when one door closes another opens
and beyond our cosmic world of memories
brushing away the dark clouds of chagrin 
we choose what we want to see
with time to a brighter side we will awaken

Yes you will always keep your love for him in your heart and all your memories, but life offers opportunities we never could have imagined or dreamt of, and time does heal. Are you of French descent Line, my French is minimal, did French for 5 years at school, I want to spend time on your poems and see what I can understand but will have my French English/ English French Dictionary close! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

You're right. It is far better to be an optimist. You will live longer and people will like you. Well penned. Have a great day.
