THINGS I LOVE
The laughter of a little child
Timid creatures of the wild
Lilac scent on wafting breeze
And summer shade beneath the trees
A lonesome whistle in the night
From some big train way out of sight
Bright butterflies and lady-bugs
And joy felt from children’s hugs
Birds in all their feathery hues
And poems derived from poignant muse
The gurgling sound of running streams
And magic cast by gold moonbeams
Rainbows after a summer storm
Flower’s beauty as they take form
America’s flag waving on high.
A gentle breeze that seems to sigh.
Rain that cools the heat away
Watching kittens as they play
Frost fronds on my window panes
Long inviting country lanes
Beautiful leaves that drop in fall
So many things, but best of all
A family to love, as they love me
And God, who gave my Soul to me
