These are a few of my favourite things

The sun sets at sea

Watching it melt and go deep

White clouds turn grey

Birds quietening to sleep

The orange gold glow, that sets on each thing

These are a few of my favourite things

Meeting new people

and sharing a giggle

A song or a joke

that can help us to mingle

A friend in a stranger, the joy it can bring

These are a few of my favourite things

To think and remember

To plan for the future

With calm and with reason

To always keep humour

A pause for a thought, the mind wants to sing

These are a few of my favourite things

When I feel hurt

When my mood dips

When I am feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don’t feel so bad

Walking the sea coast

and smiling at shop hosts

Bracelets and earrings

clothes hung pillar to post

hats and some shoes with laces and string

These are a few of my favourite things

Baubles and knick knacks

and Trinkets and whatnot

Antique or Modern

Whatever I may want

Hand painted panels that capture the scene

These are a few of my favourite things

When I feel hurt

When my mood dips

When I am feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don’t feel so bad......
