My Favourite Things

I shall list my favourite things Once it was woodland flowers and fraying rope swings Newts and frogs, creepy crawlies with moth-like wings Now it's my lover's, welcoming caress and kiss. Once it was wild strawberries, fresh laundry Now it's a special lady, who can't-be-eclipse Once it was unwrapping, a mountain of Christmas gifts Now it's undressing just one and thanking the lord I shall continue to list my favourite things for you Once it was school trips, days out to zoos Rainstorms followed by rainbow-heart-harpoons But, now it's simply waking up alongside you. Once it was the school bells final ring Now it's reading your messages back and texting, Knowing a neon-strobe-light heavenly vexing Is pulsing pumping through my veins, my heart for you?
