The smiles & laughter of my beloved children,
the view of vast green fields & scent of freshly-cut grass;
The oven-fresh smell of freshly-baked bread,
the quirkiness & beauty of hand-made furniture & antique cars;
The delightful mind & hourglass figure of a well read & stylish woman,
the kind and thoughtful words of persons with class;
Lovers who make vows & make them last,
the effort & brightness of kids who top their class;
Ladies that cook well with whatever they have at home,
friendship that is tested but endures and lasts;
Raindrops drumming on and washing my roof,
birds chirping, melodious music playing, Kojo Antwi singing to a lass;
These are some of my favourites things &, perhaps, to pray, to love, to serve, to dance
To express oneself well & dress with pizazz!
You may not have given it any serious thought because you have been too busy working to pay the bills,
engrossed in attending to family or new found love, or just swept away by the tide of 'more important things in life' but your favourite things bring a smile to your face. They must not be placed on the back-burner for they form part of your very existence.
They have a special way of lifting up your spirits and lighting up your life.
They may be pricey or may not cost any money at all.
They may consume hours on end or may not take away from our most valuable resource of all - TIME.
But if they were taken away from our existence, this journey called life would not be so pleasurable.
The simple thought of them warms our hearts. The smell, sight, sound, taste or feel of them make us HAPPY.
So tell me, Earth Angels and Urban Warriors, as the Yuletide beckons and Santa reckons he will bring our favourite things to us in peace and one piece, what are your favourite things?
