DOORS

We open doors and close them
And do not realise half the time,
That we’ve opened ones that are not right
When we search and cannot find.

The wrong doors lead to chaos
When we dare to enter in,
Because it’s a reflection of what we desire;
The deep yearnings from within.

And the heart is deceptive and wicked;
We don’t know what really resides;
It is only during certain moments
That it’s revealed and cannot hide.

And good intentions may be questioned
Since to be selfish is the norm,
But when the fear of God resides within
The motives take on a different form.

The right doors lead to life
Where decisions are of nobility,
And morally good and steadfast
Where true blessings we do see.

The snake will enter through the cracks
When we allow him to;
It’s important that certain doors
Remain sealed in what we say and do.

And the tongue may open certain doors
That are unnecessary as well,
Bringing confusion and much heartache
When it is set on fire by hell.

Some doors need to remain shut
For the serenity of our soul,
Because unless it is reciprocal
Many issues may unfold.

Because deception will run wild
When the wrong door will open wide,
When we handle things incorrectly;
And hidden motives are inside.

If God opens the doors
When we persist in fervent prayers,
It will be according to His will and timing
And His tender loving care.

Because unless the right ones open
Our lives can become a mess,
So patience it is mandatory
If we wish to be truly blessed.
