Open Doors

I'll taste the summer's warmth

The sun will bounce on the back of my neck and I'll enjoy

The chance of getting a sunburn

Just by laying on the beach forgetting to reapply sun screen

Even though I should

I'll be thrilled to travel even though plane rides are exhausting

Landing with puffy eyes and little to no sleep

But seeing a different part of the world

Will make my year and add to a life time of accomplishments

I'll go to work and be happy to see my coworkers

Even the ones who used to annoy me

We will chat about the weather

And how bad the coffee tastes

As I sit and think to my self:

Children will complain about having to go to school again

Being happy will only last about a week

They'll be reluctant to do their homework

But be happy for a Friday night out to eat

Life as a whole will go on

In another shape or form

In another way the world will turn its' clock

Sun will rise and sun will set

Gratitude of the world will slowly be forgotten

But I'll hold my new friend close to my heart

Maybe the minds will change of our ungrateful selves

& a new life will start, at least for me when we open our doors again
