These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Rainy day reading

Idyllic compositions

Red hair and freckles

The aroma of coffee—

drifting in from the kitchen

The joy that Lynn’s Christmas trees bring

These are a few of my favorite things

Naval ceremonies

Roast beef and noodles

Beach vacations—

and the smell of towels in hotels

Seawater

Scratch paper doodles

The bizz buzz of a hummingbird’s wings

These are a few of my favorite things

The scientific method—

and educated guesses

Looking at life through rose-colored glasses

Swimming in lakes and cool water splashes

The happiness that my grandchildren bring

These are a few of my favorite things

When the cold air bites

When the bee stings

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

 And then I don’t feel so bad
