Raindrops on roses and
whiskers on kittens
bright copper kettles and
warm woolen mittens
brown paper packages tied up
with strings
these are a few of my favorite things.
cream-colored ponies and
crisp apple strudels
doorbells and sleigh bells
and schnitzel with noodles
wild geese that fly with the
moon on their wings
these are a few of my favorite things.
girls in white dresses
with blue satin sashes
snow flakes that stay on
my nose and eyelashes
silver-white winters that
melt into springs
these are a few of my favorite things.
when the dog bites
when the bee stings
when i'm feeling sad
i simply remember my favorite things
and then i don't feel so bad.
