I Can’t Shut The Door
Some times the wind comes suddenly and we rushed to close the doors and windows. I remember when I was very young how I rushed outside to pick up my aunts clothes from the line when the rain started. I have many times in my mind when I was able to run from the rain but now I can’t but worse now, I can scarcely get up fast enough to close the windows and with the latch where it is I can’t shut the door

I Can’t Shut The Door It was windy out Clouds were dark about And the threatening rain Neared the strength of a hurricane The door was open but I could not Stretch to reach that closure spot Had no way of reaching it, I wasn’t tall enough Unable to avoid the inclement weather I braced to tough The threat and then the wind blew in There were objects being tossed and ornaments breaking Had a special porcelain heart that dropped and broke Emotions were stifled, I never spoke Didn’t see it possible to do anything now Open doors will cause great destruction if we allow Outside inside and never monitoring Rains and winds from their untimely intruding |
