What if a door?

What if a door you’d always thought 

Was closed to you were suddenly to open? 

What if the answer to your prayers 

Lay just inside, and all you had to do 

Was knock, or push, or pull? 

What if the key were right there in your hands: 

What then? Would you hesitate,

 Or boldly step right up and in? 

Or — and this often happens— 

Would you fail to even notice the opportunity, 

And walk on by, lost in a fog 

Of past and future imaginings?
