These are a few of my favorite things

The Ocean.

Fog filling the gaps in 

between 

trees in an already dense forest.

The ecstatic leap of a dolphin,

the coziness of snuggling with a bunny,

the fun of playing with a dog,

and the enjoyment of stroking a chinchilla's plush fur.

Laughing with friends.

Smiling with children, who aren't too old or too 

young to cry once

 they're separated from their

 mother for 5 seconds.

A lake filled with sun, 

and overshadowed by a border of trees.

Temples sparkling in the last rays 

of a fading sun.

Light shining through the clouds

 from heaven.

Cookies baking in the oven, knowing they will soon be shared 

with those you love.

Baby animals learning to walk, swim or even fly.

The flicker of flames consuming it's meal.

Staying up late to talk to a friend as you both slowly fall asleep.

The sheen of a rock dove's wings under a San Francisco sun.

Palm tree leaves rustling in the cool bay breeze.

A sunset that seems bright enough to catch the sky on fire.

The wonderful contentment after reading a book with a happy ending.

The soothing sound of a mourning dove cooing as you rock to sleep.

Butterflies of every color.

Music that fills your soul and lungs.

A rose at the peak of its bloom.

Snow elaborating a simple branch,

 turning it into a pristine

 masterpiece.

Laughing at an inside joke.

Sunlight illuminating the petals of a flower.

Drops of rain creating masterpieces out of 

flowers, leaves and even grass.

Vultures circling around, calling you to home.

And thunder rippling through the house, 

reminding you how insignificant you really are.

Fireworks celebrating freedom.

Smiling with simple joy for pure beauty of all we've 

been given.
