My Favorite Things

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.

Vintage Christmas Greeting Card

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

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes 

Silver-white winters that melt into Spring

These are a few of my favorite thing.

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.
