How open is your window,
how tall is your door
How wide is your pool,
how slippery is your floor
How fresh is your perception,
how broad is your scope
How clear is your reflection,
how real is your hope
How solid are your friendships,
how many pray tell
How strong is your commitment,
how deep is your well
How right is your grammar,
how your words become strong
How your heart achieves freedom,
—turning verse into song
