A Few of My Favourite Things
Well polished cruisers as silver as starlight,
Parking in trees glowing warm in the lamplight,
Eating at dinners equipped for fat kings—
These are a few of my favourite things.
Meeting bright faces with stories a flowing,
Greeting my days — just a cloud of unknowing,
Wonderment at the strange gifts that God brings—
These are a few of my favourite things.
Rocky rimmed rivers awash with glad people,
Foam for a garment, so pompous and regal,
Gazing at planets with heavenly rings—
These are a few of my favourite things.
Dogs being dogs with their happiness showing,
Glad of existence, exuberance glowing,
Watching the children on pendulous swings—
These are a few of my favourite things.
Praising the moon, lolling lonely in cloud break,
Warmed by the sun at the moment of daybreak,
Loving creation and all that it brings—
These are a few of my favourite things…
