Just for Fun

Somewhere, alone, in the dark of an early morning, she wrote...not from scratch...and not even words intended to be written, but write she did...maybe not even well, but definitely memories from the heart. Here it is...snippets of the present and past mixed together...for those who wish to peek inside my life....

...to the tune of My Favorite Things...

A lovely sunset and stars in the night sky
Contagious laughter and a small town fish fry
Knowing a friend's on the phone as it rings
These are a few of my favorite things

Happy exclaims when with others you're jokin'
Warm, loving hugs; memories of words spoken
Walking in snow with my dog evenings
These are a few of my favorite things

When there's too much
Work to do and
I'm in need of rest
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel...so stressed

Colorful trees that I see in the autumn
Crunching leaves underfoot when I walk on 'em
The peacefulness a new fallen snow brings
These are a few of my favorite things

Times with my family we spent all together
Laughter and smiles, all things that I treasure
Driving on trips; how I feel when I sing
These are a few of my favorite things

Sparkling eyes and emotions unhidden
Words sent to me that were lovingly written
God in my life and the joy that He brings
These are a few of my favorite things

When there's too much
Work to do and
I am feeling stressed
I simply remember my favorite things
Cause they make me feel...so blessed!!!!
