My Journey to God

The Door

I stand by the door—
The door is the most important door
in the world—
It is the door through which men walk
when they find God.
There’s no use going way inside
and staying there,
When so many are still outside
and they, as much as I,
Crave to know where the door is.
The most tremendous thing in the
world is for men to find that door,
the door to God.
The most important thing any man
can do
Is to take hold of one of those blind,
groping hands,
and put it on the latch—the
latch that only clicks and opens
to man’s own touch.
