Favorites—an Ode to Maria
Not checking emails & getting massages,
taking a nap & then hiding my watches.
Silencing my phone to stop all the rings,
these are a few of my favorite things.
Baths that last hours & warm weighted blankets,
slowly brewed herbal tea & meditations.
Hand-written letters from friends across seas,
these are a few of my favorite things!
During work days, paying taxes,
when I’m feeling sad…
I simply remember my favorite things, & I don’t feel so bad!
