TBT: A Few Things I Love

This is embarrassing. I want to eventually make my blog into a book, so I am including writings from a looong time ago. This is a poem I wrote for an assignment in high school. I still like most of these things though! :)

A Few Things I Love (1996)

At the pool on a summer's day

The sun shining down on my cheek

Laughter coming from children at play

A man not afraid to be weak

Reading a book on a rainy day

Long talks on the trampoline

Hearing the sound of a faint guitar play

The smell of kerosene

Little girls in sun dresses

Little boys in overalls

Any kind of well-planned surprises

The feel of the lines on the ball

Bagpipes and kilts and anything Scottish

A simple working woman at home

A man of sixty with a look rather boyish

Coffee ice-cream in a cone

Driving on a country road in early morning

Watching the clouds move above

An inspiring sermon with a pracitcal warning

Thinking of all that I love.
