MY FAVORITE THINGS

Raindrops on palm trees and puppies playing

Parrots squawking and the light in the morning

Cooking fresh food and the sunshine warming

These are a few of my favorite things

Yoga with friends and walking in nature

Caribbean people and their love of culture

My children shining

Planting herbs and flowers - Singing and dancing

These are a few of my favorite things

Pretty long dresses, pearls and tresses

Reading novels and sharing my feelings

Swimming in rivers – orchids a blooming

These are a few of my favorite things

Laughter and love

Witnessing babies bornin’

Sunday mornings and scents diffusing

These are a few of my favorite things

Bamboo patches and giant trees

Rivers and streams

Fields of flowers

Macarons and croissants

These are a few of my favorite things

When the grief grips

When the doubt clouds

When I am feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don’t feel so bad
