Sparklers on lake beds and boys that are smitten

Bright colored bottle rockets and words that are written

Brown paper fireworks tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

Long perfect hike trails and crisp chocolates’mores

Four wheel and  Pizza and old antiques stores

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in stained clothing with small crocks that don’t match

Sun rays that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white waters that flow from the springs

These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites

When the card loss stings

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don’t feel so bad
