Sunrises each morning
over Cook Inlet
Sun sinking behind Mt. Redoubt
Family gathered ‘round
Hubby’s soft snores
Grandchildren who love me
And the One who paid it all
These are my favorite things

after a “racey” challenge at the beginning of the week, the Trifecta editors have asked for 33 words only on our favorite things. This? More my style – so much easier to write. And the picture? Taken by me overlooking “the Bluff” in downtown Kenai 10-3-12.

    I grew up on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia and had views all throughout my childhood similar to the one that accompanies your poem. Life did, indeed, revolve around “simpler” things like family and home. We are all too busy these days, being so proud of of multi-tasking skills. Your poem reminds us all of what is important, really important, in life. Thanks.
