A Few More of My Favorite Things

This is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., and I am grateful for so much!

Plenty to eat and clean water to use,
Days of vacation to spend as I choose,

Friends as we worship and everyone sings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Steaming hot coffee in my special mug,
A place for my toes on a soft, fuzzy rug,
The clock on the wall as each hour it rings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Books with blank pages, a red car that runs,The warm, yeasty smell of fresh cinnamon buns,
A card in the mailbox, the sweet thoughts it brings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

A little piano with black and white keys,
My big easy chair and a robe for my knees,
Grandchildren's hugs and their love without strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Sausage on muffins, fresh wax on the floor,
A good book to read, and a wreath for my door,
Late-blooming roses and birds with bright wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the toast burns,
When some word stings,
When the pace is mad,
I try to remember my favorite things,And then I don't feel so sad!

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits!" (Psalm 103:2)
