I wonder what they open Would it be to places unknown Would it be to challenges undone There were several keys by the door Am I willing to chance it Maybe I will open just this one door I took the keys from the ring and opened the door I saw life I’d lived and many friends were around I was so happy with this key I had found I looked all around and was happy – filled with glee Another door I happened to see Emboldened by my first opening attempt I took another key and went straight to the test I turned the second key and was met with the dark For this second key opened the door on.. Things that I didn’t want to remember Or for anyone to see Things I had done wrong and people I hurt I ran as fast as I could to the next door you see No longer happy or filled with glee The third door was heavy and hard to get open As I pushed it aside I looked and I saw Blank spaces and waiting people Now I can see This is the future and how I do is up to me There were several keys by the door… |

  (smiles) BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, I remember this so very well in the Sanctuary, sweet friend, this is excellent, life is indeed a series of doors but whenever one closes behind us, the one ahead opens and in the end we will find the lobby of our dreams! (sigh) This is fabulous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Paul Interesting look at choices...I think I have more keys than three, seems I am always uncovering a new one. Enjoyed this and your outlook. |

It sounds like you got the right key, Paul. Maybe you could help me find the key to my safe deposit box. It has been missing since my first husband died, 3 years ago.  ~ hugs writing on keyLyra |

Hey Paul, very interesting thoughts shared you know? But I believe, which ever key you used, traces of you would be left inside the room once you stepped out of the door. mycafe Keep counting your blessings |

I just leave it unlocked and try not to live in fear. The way I see it, if someone wants to get in bad enough they'll find a way. Loved your poem and the message Paul. |
