Poems by a Regular Guy

A DOOR FOR EACH LEVEL People don’t know this, well maybe they do, we pass through many doors for each phase of our life, some have more doors than others, some are more happy and some are more sad, the door that opens for you depends on how you are living your life, were you kind to your neighbor, did you help those in need, or did you just go through life filling your pockets with all your misdeeds. The door of death is not for you to die, but for you to experience when one close to you passes on, your mom or your dad or maybe your best friend, this door reminds you that all of our lives will one day end, going through this door is just part of life, it’s okay to feel sorrow, to miss a loved one you loved so dear, this door can’t be ignored, it’s part of everyone’s fate The door of compassion is a test to all of us, do we just love those close to us or can we feel other’s pain, to try to understand others who do not look like us, think like us or do we turn our backs and watch them suffer in pain, and say it’s not our problem, or step up to god’s plate and push hate aside, Your door of happiness hopefully opens many times, babies are born, graduations at hand, birthdays and holidays and vacations are planned, being with loved ones, or having a fantastic wife, everyone deserves to go through this door many times in their life The door of aging opens many times, bringing happiness and sadness, wisdom and joy, learning to share knowledge from one generation to the next, learn from our wrongs so they can get it right, learn from our mistakes that we make at certain ages, laughing at ourselves because we were not always right There are many doors that open in life, some not of our choosing, do the best that you can when each door appears because at some point in life it will have to be closed, once they are closed they will not open again because the next phase of your life will be here and another door will be opened, kick the door down if you must, make your own fate so the last door you open will be at heaven’s gate
