DOORS

Three doors before us
Three doors to see
One from all yesterdays
One for all today
One yet to be.

We open our yesterdays
What do we see?
Years past, lifetimes together
Lifetimes promised and shared
Yesterdays together, promises kept.

We look for today
What do we see?
Promises made, promises broken
Hope shattered, love denied
No todays, no promises.

You enter the tomorrows
What do you see?
Someone else, not me
A lifetime of love
A lifetime of hope.

I do not enter.
I do not see.
No lifetimes for me
No love, no hope
I cease to be.
