Poetry: My favorite things

Beauty and music, sunshine and light
The wings of a dove softly rustling in flight.

The smell of the morning after summers rain
Crackling campfires and bubbling champagne.

Voices of children singing songs of praise
The evening mist and long autumn days.

The changing of seasons, a moment of prayer
Goosebumps and laughter, my favorite chair.

Being lost in a moment, the voice of a friend


Being held in a hug I hope never ends.

The way my cheeks feel coming in from the cold
The softness of hands as they begin to grow old.

Sincerity and honesty, faith, hope and love
Knowing that God is somewhere above.

The presence of angels, a wonderful dream
Having a bowl of my favorite ice cream.

Snuggles and cuddles and soft babies feet
That fleeting moment my house is tidy and neat.

Sweet memories to cherish, tears of sadness and joy
Pictures in albums, my childhood toy.

Sharing a secret, shouting out loud
Laying back in the sun guessing shapes in the clouds.

Rain on the rooftop, silence so still
Meadows and forests, lacy frost on the sill.

The power of prayer, uninterrupted sleep
Making a promise I know I will keep.

Sitting and thinking of my favorite things
Like cupcakes and flowers and angels wings.

The innocent sweetness of love's first kiss
and simply sharing my thoughts with a friend like this.

    Listening to music on a lazy afternoon
    or snuggling up by a warm, cozy fire
    If the tree's leaves are golden and orange
