The door to my life opened in 1946,

I was born.

Since then,

Schooling doors,

Birthday doors.

Marriage door,

Parenthood doors,

University doors, 

Teaching doors,

Leadership doors,

Lecturing doors,

Media and public relations doors,

Teaching doors.

School leadership doors,

Journalistic doors.

Publishing doors,

Retirement doors.

Then

Old age does,

Reflective doors,

Grandparent doors,

Ten septuagenarian doors.

Still to come 

Octogenarian door/ doors, 

Unknown door/doors.

Then,

The last door,

The FINAL door.

The EXIT DOOR!

When it shuts,

Behind me,

I am,

But a memory.
