“The doors we open and close each day,
Decide the lives we lead, and who we meet.”
Flora Whittemore
I have always liked exploring
Visiting places, not too many see
There is so much life, all around us
Discovering it, brings great joy to me
Whether it’s wandering a lofty mountainside
Or a deep dark cave, far beneath the ground
This planet, contains far more, than ourselves
And I never know what life forms may be found
I was in the basement of an old hospital building
And a violent storm was raging far above my head
Two felines, that the hospital staff had been feeding
Had now vanished, and were now feared to be dead
With my flashlight in hand, I searched that entire basement
As I slowly moved along, I listened for meows and cat calls
Then, I spotted an old wooden hatch, leading to a crawl space
When I pried it open, I soon discovered they were alive, after all
And oddly enough, they seemed like they had known I was coming
They very patiently waited, for the life-sustaining meal I had brought
After that day of discovery, we decided that they deserved a better life
They now live in a wonderful home, and another lesson to me was taught
The doors that we open and close each and every day,
Decide not only our own lives, but often that of others.
