A Door You Are Not Promised

I hope one day you’ll learn to liveas though tomorrow were a dooryou are not promised the chance to open.

That you’ll stop allowing the voices in your headto turn your dreams into windowsyou only ever look through.

That you’ll find the courageto reach for the things your heart has longed for,instead of spending your whole lifestanding on the shores of possibility,watching your dreams sail awayon ships you were too afraid to board.

For what a tragedy it would beto reach the end of your dayswith a heart full of dreamsand a life full of what ifs.
