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! Rhymer.

Very pleased you enjoyed my write Arthur. I have a 'counter' to this and when found, will post it. A bit of a 'spoof' is perhaps the better description! Ciao Denis.

Thanks for your much appreciated comment Beverly but I should make a small correction as the first line is more wistful thinking than fact! Lol! I still rise at 6.00 am with it being only a very rare occasion, I lie abed until 7.00 am! As for having coffee and toast whilst lying there? That's for the future! I can just imagine the mess of toast crumbs! Yikes! Ciao. Denis.

I couldn't wait from one line to the next to see what was coming. I had to make myself slow down to enjoy all the words. Beverly
