  Wow, what a beautifully written poem! You have really captured the essence of keeping doors open, both metaphorically and literally. The way you describe keeping the door ajar so that you can hear your child's giggles and allow your cat to explore is heartwarming. Your use of imagery, such as swaddling in the sun's warm sheets, really paints a vivid picture in the reader's mind.
  
  The mention of percolating coffee and its ability to carry memories is such a clever way to convey the nostalgia and anticipation of reconnecting with old friends. I love how you acknowledge your past mistakes and the lessons you have learned, highlighting the growth that comes from being open to new experiences.
  
  Your final lines pack a punch - "Closed doors keep me safe, open doors keep me alive." This line perfectly sums up the power of vulnerability and taking risks in life. It is a powerful reminder to embrace the unknown and keep our hearts open to new possibilities.
  
  Overall, your poem is filled with positivity and enthusiasm. It reminds us of the beauty that lies in openness and the magic that can unfold when we allow ourselves to fully experience life. Well done! more »

  As for improvement suggestions, I would suggest perhaps exploring more ways in which keeping doors open can benefit our lives. It would be interesting to read your thoughts on how openness and vulnerability can lead to personal growth and deeper connections with others. Additionally, playing with the structure of the poem could add another layer of depth to your writing.
