Some of My Favourite Things
Now I’ve grown older, what I love the most,
is breakfast in bed, with coffee and toast.
No rising till noon - I hope no one rings!
These are a few of my favourite things!
Finding e-mails from folks, never met,
or times when confused on the Internet,
a fortunate click of my mouse brings
me back, is one of my favourite things!
The dawning of day, as the sun breaks through,
and its first warming rays, dissipate overnight dew.
Moments in Spring when a courting bird sings,
all add to my list of favourite things!
The sound of a choir, singing a soft lullaby:
or expectations heard in a new born’s cry,
calmed by a mother, and the peace it brings,
is yet another of my favourite things.
The sounds of laughter, from children at play;
the humming of bees on a warm summer day.
The awaited enjoyment, a kitchen smell brings,
are reminders, of some of my favourite things!
Though a distant church clock chiming, is in its way,
a timely reminder how quickly passes the day,
when joined by a peal of church bells, it brings
a pleasant addition to my list of favourite things.
Whilst the list compiled here, is but a few
of my favourite things - both old and new!
Each and every day lived to the full, brings
more to add to my list of favourite things.
With Life much enjoyed, my end holds no fear,
for Life remains a pleasure, that grows ever dear.
Every morning on waking, as my heart sings,
it tops the list of my favourite things!
