The Gate

To this home
The gate is ajar
To things to be known
This gate is open far
The steps to take
To close the gate
Are long and well
When closed, you'll have a story to tell
Now the gate is closed
But know, every time the wind blows
This gate will swing back
Discipline, you will see, I lack
Now a lock would be nice
but requires some sacrifice
Give away all you got
All of it, every lot
Now, lock this gate
Before it's too late
Watch the gate, swing in the breeze
Don't trust yourself with the keys
