Many years ago, someone told me, that our heart has many doors. As time goes on, God will help us open and close those doors as we choose. Some of these doors could be full of joy and happiness, pain and sorrow, trails and tribulations, as well as, a special door for every person who's touched our lives. You'll find in this book, a poem that relates to whatever thoughts, you may have floating though your mind. Take but a moment to find a poem that perfectly suits you. Even, if dedicated to another, that doesn't mean that can't gather in the same sphere. In the event that only one person reads just one of these poems and can relate to the point of opening one door of your heart, then I have achieved success.
