Opening Doors of Hope

Even if no one were to know

What the future will have in store,

There is still the possibility

To do so much more,

So open the door

As a way to see

With a newfound sense of clarity,

And strive to be

Both alive and well

As the magic of living

Casts an enchanting spell,

And seek golden opportunities

To create and appreciate

A compelling narrative

While trying to stay as pure as gold

So that a story that must be told

Would have a reflective perspective
