The Door
I see a door half open,
Or maybe it's half shut.
Perhaps I should go through it,
But if I do--then what?
I don't know what's on the other side,
And I'm half-afraid to see.
Through that door there could be danger,
Or perhaps my opportunity.
There's just one way for me to know;
I must go out and take a look.
I must this time show courage.
Or mourn the chance I never took.

I really like it, but you have it labeled as children's poetry... is that reflective of my mindset?
No. It means it is one I might like to collect into an anthology for kids one day.
I think Anthology is one of the coolest words in the English language. One of my favorites, so much fun to say... note to self: work the word "anthology" into more conversations.
