Up and down, all around,
The world is full of sights and sounds.
Sometimes things are off or closed,
But other times they're open, exposed.

When a door is shut up tight,
It's closed and keeps things out of sight.
But when you turn the handle just right,
It opens up, oh what a delight!

When the sun is up in the sky,
And everything is open wide,
The world is full of possibility,
And you can explore endlessly.

So don't be afraid to try and see,
What's off, open, up, down, and even closed,
Because every experience can be,
A new adventure waiting to unfold.
