I like the longs and the shorts
The cons and pros
All those whom oppose
The yeses and the no's

I like the sun on my face
To let go and embrace
The thrill of the chase
The fallen from grace

I like the smiles and frowns
Not staying inbounds
Crossing the line
The struggle and grind

I like the sweat on my brow
The highs and the lows
The quiet and loud
All the chaotic sounds

I like the freedom of speech
To learn and to teach
To ascend and to reach
To listen and preach

I like the feeling of touch
The wanting and giving too much
The love I see in your eyes
You all wrapped up in my clutch

I like to gaze at the stars
What's near by and what may be too far
To be even par
The naked but armed

I like the ocean and breeze
The swaying of leaves on the trees
To be calm and to be at ease
To come and go as I please

I like the softness of hair
Hope overcoming despair
Breathing in only clean air
Justice decisive and fair

I like what feels really good
To always be understood
The shouldn't and should
The couldn't now could

I like to lead by example
The strong and the ample
To indulge and to sample
More than we can handle

I like all the creative ways
To be productive at a fair wage
Having the courage to not be afraid
At the tears running down from my face

I like the joy and the sadness
Loving someone that has the whole package
The right of passage
And consummation of marriage

I like feeling fulfillment of heart
Gratitude that flies off the charts
The journey which we must embark
The separation before a new start

I like to dream in the night
To lift off and to take flight
To see further beyond what's in sight
Whether or not it feels wrong or feels right
Knowing full well the future is bright
