My Favorite Word

Some people like words like firefly or shimmer, words that sing a melody while painting in your head, but my favorite word is And.

And it doesn't sing.
And it doesn't paint.
And looks lost
On a line by itself, but
And reminds me I can be both
Happy and sad,
I can not like something
And like it too.
I don't always have to choose.
