DOOR-WAYS, by                    
First Line: Do door-ways call confidingly to you?
Last Line: From day to day.
Subject(s): Hospitality


Do door-ways call confidingly to you?
They do to me;
There is the formal door-way straight and tall
That opens on a narrow entrance-hall
Impressively.

There is the friendly door-way broad and white
Welcoming one:
Behind it I can always seem to see
The very soul of hospitality
And quiet fun.

There is the door-way overgrown with vines—
A lovely sight!
A place to linger at the close of day
And watch the soft clouds tuck the sun away
Safe for the night.

Ah, door-ways call out many things to me—
That is their way:
Behind their polished wood men's dreams come true,
Old griefs grow trivial, hopes spring up anew
From day to day.
