words

Lately it seems doors are closing for me. I'm trying to keep the faith and looking for other doors - or even windows - to open. Pondering my current situation, I remembered the words to the only poem I ever memorized...

Listen to the mustn'ts, child,

Listen to the don'ts

Listen to the shouldn'ts

The impossibles, the won'ts

Listen to the never haves

Then listen close to me --

Anything can happen, child,

Anything can be.

Shel Silverstein
