What’s Your Favorite

I have a very active friend
he likes all kinds of stuff,
I asked “what’s your favorite thing”
he said “one favorite’s not enough”.
He pushes himself through everything
as he adores all of his activities,
If I were him I would need some rest
as I would collapse from all the stress.

He pushes himself through everything
as he adores all of his activities,
If I were him I would need some rest
as I would collapse from all the stress.
Outside of school he breaks a sweat
and what he does is extremely tough,
Again I ask “what’s your favorite”
“one favorite’s not enough.”
Summer time and school is over
he’s joined a lot of clubs,
He wasn’t forced or pressured for any
the groups he joined were loved.
One day in particular
I knew that he was free,
So I took my bike and went outside
to spot him from the streets.
I saw him on the sidewalk
and I let out a calm sigh,
When I told him I wanted to talk
I really wanted to know why.
“How can you do all this stuff
It all sounds like a chore,
If I were to do what you do
I would pass out on the floor.”
The sun was beating down
the rays were hot and bright,
His sweaty hands on the bike handle
as he replied “you are right”
“This is all exhausting for me
I don’t know what to do,
I don’t know who I want to be
I don’t know which to choose.”
My hand on his shoulder
I asked him one more time,
He left without an answer
but kept my question in his mind.
I learned a lot from him
as summer turned to spring,
You can push yourself but leave time
and enjoy your favorite things.
