This Door


This Door
you see this door
weathered and worn
it has protected
from many a storm

the handle's dull
it's lost its shine
from dearest friends
visiting oft a time

the key hole once
so crisp and clean
now worn down
from life's routine

this door brings
a sort of cheer
all troubling leaves
when it appears

beyond this door
lies comfort, peace
a quiet rest
that ne'er will cease

this door has
a work to do
to gladly greet
bid reluctant adieu

this door lets in the good
and shuts out the bad
it brings comfort to
the weary and sad

some would say
to get one new
something better,
or paint it blue

but dear friends,
I just can't agree
because this door is special-
it belongs to me.
