James Howerton Poet Spoken Word

When one door closes

When one door closes 
another door opens.
When one chapter ends,
another chapter begins.
Everything that we experience 
in life,
is for a reason.
There is a higher purpose,
a deeper meaning.
Therefore,
learn from your experiences,
because they could be
stepping stones to change .

So don't worry when life, 
or love,
take a turn you didn't expect.
Remember,
there is a lesson to be learned 

When one door closes,
another door opens.
When one chapter ends,
another chapter begins.
Everything in life and love,
happens for a reason.
Learn from your experiences,
because they could be 
stepping stones to change.
