Leave It Not To Knock Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If one wants to know,
Who or what it is...
On the otherside of a closed door,
One has to knock not to stop.
Or leave it not to knock.

A life to live,
Takes risks and chances.
A 'No' to get,
Maybe to one's benefit.

A life to live,
Takes risks and chances.
If a door is locked...
Knock!

Some wish opportunities,
Were clearly where they wish to be.
But...
The key to open a door,
One must do what they didn't before.
And knock.
A life to live,
Takes risks and chances.
If a door is locked,
One must not be afraid to knock.

A life to live,
Takes risks and chances.
A 'No' to get,
Maybe to one's benefit.

Don't just leave it not to knock on others doors.
Don't stop to knock.
Don't you leave it not to knock on others doors.
Don't stop to knock.
Even if a 'No' is heard,
Know an opportunity will occur.

Don't,
Leave it not to knock on others doors.
Don't stop to knock.
Don't you leave it not to knock on others doors.
Don't stop to knock.
Even if a 'No' is heard,
Know an opportunity will occur.

If one wants to know,
Who or what it is...
On the otherside of a closed door,
One has to knock not to stop.
Or leave it not to knock.
But don't you,
Leave it not to knock on others doors.
Don't stop to knock.
Just don't leave it not to knock on others doors.
Don't stop to knock.
Even if a 'No' is heard,
Know an opportunity will occur.
Claim it to be named!
And...
Make the change.
