Things That I Love
I love a fresh cup of coffee on a cold winter’s day,
And the smile of a child with a new toy.
I love the look my husband gives me when he has nothing to say.
I love the sound of laughter and the feeling of joy.
I love the smell of wood burning,
And the gift of living.
I love the knowledge of learning,
And the act of giving.
I love spending time alone.
And seeing new places.
I love doing things on my own.
And meeting new faces.
I love the person I am today.
I love to read and to write.
I love that I have something to say.
I love putting up a fight.
I love hearing good news.
And the sound of silence and of rain.
I love having so much to lose.
Yet, so much to gain.
I love waking up to a new day,
And knowing God has given me another chance.
I wouldn’t want it any other way
Not even by circumstance.
