Go and Open the Door

Go and open the door.
Maybe outside there is
A tall apple tree,
Or a small secretive woods.

Maybe there is a welcoming garden,
Or a bustling town centre.

Go and open the door.
There might be a dog running,
Or a bird soaring through the sky.
There may even be a mouse, chasing a cat.

Go and open the door.
If there is an alien you should close it again.

Go and open the door.
Even if there is only the sun hiding behind a cloud,
Even if there are only the stars shimmering in the moonlight,
Even if nothing is there,
Go and open the door.


At least there will be a light.

Author notes

This is a poem inspired by one I wrote at Primsry School. I think that one was inspired by someone elses work, but I don't know who...

    Just real plain commonsense in a delightful package. Thank you for such good advice. (Particularly after my last 24 hours!)

    Very uplifting write and great advice. I like the repetition it pulls it all together.

    I like this. It is really good for having been originally inspired in Primary School. It carries a healthy message and the final line sums it up nicely.
    Well done.

    I thought this was going to be about Ozzy Osbourne. He was heard to say, "Don't take your dog to an animal psychologist, just get up off yer F--N A$$ and open up the door! lol.

    the poem makes a lot of sense ... I know someone who
    likes to keep herself closed off from everything and she's unhealthy ... always grouchy. Light can help bring a person out of depression.
