‘The Door To Peace Opens Inward’ – Bob Butler
I’ve lived in this house for forty years now,
Unable to experience what each room has to offer
When I wanted to be happy, the door to laughter would not open
When I wanted to be rich, the door to success was shut too
When I wanted to feel love, I’d knock, but no answer
So, I was stuck in the room of self for a long time
Everyday I would venture out into the hall of hope
only to find these doors and many others still closed.
Then one day I ventured up the stairs of faith,
and came the door of Belief…
On the door was the following…
“When you seek happiness for yourself it will always elude you”
“When you seek Happiness for others, you will find it yourself”
“Pull”
So, I pulled,
And lo & behold
The door opened!!
And the room was filled with Peace
I left that room a different Person,
No longer alone, nor scared
And downstairs I found a new life
All the doors would now easily open to welcome me in.
For they too opened inward,
And all I had to do was stop Pushing for me,
And Pull
For my brothers and sisters of this world
who live in this house too!!!
