My Favorite Things

My favorite things are to smell the fresh air in the spring. To watch the flowers grow to hear a bird sing. My favorite things are to have a family to love. The color blue the beautiful sky above. My favorite things are fried chicken and chocolate ice cream. A good nights sleep and a wonderful dream. My favorite things are kissing a new babies feet. Smelling hot chocolate to sleep on clean sheets. My favorite things are drinking ice tea on a hot summer day. Laying in the heat watching the sun melt away. My favorite things are being special in someone's heart. Feeling their love and to know we'll never part. My favorite things are to have someone brush my hair. A long hot bath and to have a life that I can share. When I open my mind the words just come out. My favorite thing are what life is about. Teresa Skyles Entered in Joyce Johnson's"Your very best"contest
