If Only

If only he had opened the door,
he'd see a hidden wonder in store

for at each threshold, a dream's revealed
inside what creation has concealed

but fear got him, his hand did shake,
regrets now linger with a heartache

for behind each door is chance anew
with paths to wonder and skies to view

yet he remained, locked in despair
so wishing he had dared to dare

to trace the unknown, steeped in grace
and find beauty in life's embrace.
