Just Push


By lindamichellebaron


One day the teacher walked us to the
room.

The door was closed, the keys inside.

The teacher tried the door,

but it didn’t open.

We waited until he got another key.

That’s when he realized

It was open all along.

All he had to do was push.


Sometimes,

I think he does us the same way,

Has us waiting,

while he looks for the key of knowledge

to let us in,

when really, all he has to do

is give us a little push

by just thinking…

we can.
