A Few of My Favorite Things

Steady rain vibrating a tin roof Refreshing breeze from a screen door Untouched linen on a strange bed A few luxuries, I adore Roaring thunder rocks me to sleep Birds in song for when I wake Cat naps on the couch in between Happiness, I can't mistake Cappuccino and knit throw Sipping wine as the sun retires The aroma of steak on the grill Chatting for hours beside the fire Up before dawn, packed for a trip Surviving on adrenaline, alone Witnessing something for the first time Learning something, I hadn't known Anticipating the first kiss Butterflies, a package deal Old dirt roads on the side by side Just me, behind the wheel Taking a stroll in solitude Not a soul to entertain A question with a difficult answer Finally explained The completion of a daunting task Receiving thanks and praise Laughing too hard to catch my breath Precious moments to fill my days
