My Favorite Things

• Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
• Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
• Brown paper packages tied up with strings
• 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
• Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
• Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
• Silver-white winters that melt into springs

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.
