Natasha L Scragg Poet Lyric

Some Of My Favourite Things

( Inspired by AND to be sang to the tune of
   " Favourite Things " from The Sound Of Music. )

Dew drops that sparkle
On cobwebs in hedges.
Pizza and sweetcorn
And lightly spiced wedges.
Giggling children
Shouting  " Higher! "  On swings.
These are just some of
My favourite things.

Peacock's spread tails,
Purples, blues and greens.
Transitioning stage sets
To enrich each play's scenes.
Harmonious beauty 
When a choir sings.
These are just some of 
My favourite things.

Dogs, Swans and Seals,
I love big, round, brown, eyes.
Admiring the array 
Of colours in skies.
Funny old memories
And the joy that they bring.
These are just some of
My favourite things...

When the darkness
Overwhelms me,
I can make it light!
I simply remember
How favourite things
Can help me to feel
Alright!
