The Closed Door

There are times in life,

When we get shoved out a door.

Once we're shoved out,

That door closes.

So we sit there,

Staring at that closed door.

And because we're so busy staring,

We never see the door that opened,

Right behind us.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoy this and get the message I wanted to present to you. Don't keep looking at that closed door!

Superb! Love it! There is so many times in which I can relate to this! You know, sometimes we just ponder and wait, hoping that it will re-open, and because we don't move or wince, we tend to miss the other opportunities that await us! It's a great reminder like Nami said, and I think it's time that we keep this in the back of our minds at all costs, so something great doesn't pass us by. You never fail to amaze me Pepper. I've learned plenty of kinda words of wisdom from you, my gem.
