Life Is a Journey With Many Doors We Must Open

Life is a journey that is anything but turnkey
Full of many doors that we must open 
As we find our way through another day
There are so many doors to choose from 
Before all the opportunities
Will just flee or get by me

So we have to try to always reach for the sky 
Turning all of life's opportunities on high
We have to let some pass us by 
For every new door that opens 
We need to test the waters 
As they come ashore

We must not ignore what makes us soar
Before the next door closes
We need not worry or get in a hurry
About all the doors that are so blurry
For every new door that brings opportunity
Should allow us to foresee
 
Which are key for us to agree 
Moving forward before the next door closes
We have to let go of those doors 
That brings the doubt without clout
That turns our world all about

Making us want to shout
Why we figure out
Why we all stumble and fumble 
Surely these are the doors that we must close
Because everybody knows it all makes us grow
 
Into the person, we have come to know
So take it nice and slow
And just find the right flow
Life is what you make it
So don't fake it
Or break it
But rather 
Make it your own
