"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."

~Alexander Graham Bell


Poem Artwork

 

A door closed on a page of my life on a day years ago

A problem with my heart caused me to let my career go

From that day on there were many limitations of what I could do

I was depressed and disheartened, just feeling plain low

That closed door stood before me, its hold would not let go

I then found an outlet for I was fond of writing

I realized to write something and make it rime was downright exciting

This was a door that God opened, asking me to change course

I found it expanded my mind and I made friends so I feel no remorse

My advice to you, friends, is if a door closes for you

If it will not open look for a new avenue

God will not close a door except he opens another

Don’t be afraid to step through, dear sister or brother
