DOORS, by                    
First Line: I like doors, small friendly doors
Last Line: If there were not any doors.
Subject(s): Secrets; Temples; Mosques


I like doors, small friendly doors,
Doors that bid you welcome, when
Weary, footsore, you may come,
Be you stranger, be you friend.

I like great mysterious doors,
Darkening panels, carved and old
Standing guard for many years,
Oh, what secrets do they hold!

I like lovely temple doors.
Calm and peace we find inside.
For the many weary souls
Temple doors swing open wide.

I like all doors, great and small.
Windows, ceilings, walls and floors
Would be futile in themselves
If there were not any doors.
