A Part of Me

i'm more up
than ever down
far more a smile
than a frown
if there's a jump
i'll take the leap
with all of this
...a part of me

if there is laughter 
to be heard
i'll dig and dig
till it's unearthed
less with answers
than questioning
foot loose and free
...a part of me

i'm more lost
than could be found
sometimes in
most times out
shallow at both ends
not too deep
quite swimmingly
...a part of me 

crooked lines 
straightaways
my road you'll find
times misbehaved
finders keepers
losers weep
all this time 
...a part of me

with less goodbyes 
and more hellos
the more of me
you get to know
the more you see
in word and deed
the more you'll want to keep
...a part of me
