When the door opens  we look awayWhen it shuts and locks  we try so hard to knock it downWhen the sun shines in  we ask it to cool  and when it rains  we beg for a little sunWe give advice, so sound and so wise  yet we don't heed our ownWhen opportunity is lurking around the corner and good things bouncing around like a basketball  we forget to notice   yet we remember to ask for more    and when it is there    when everything is alright    we cryFor we can't tell when the rain stops and when the sun sets in Written August 8th, 2001 © on Aug 07 2001 04:35 PM PST, Kelli Miller   0 • 10
