THE THINGS WE LOVE THE BEST
Of the many things we love the best,
Of these that humans share,
There are some that stand above the rest
For God has put them there.
Of things that touch the human heart
And make us all Divine,
It’s hard to find a place to start
With these blessings, yours and mine.
I know I love the sunset’s glow
A-sinking in the west,
And winding brooks with shady pools
Where water-lilies crest.
Or forest nook with verdure bright
Where sunlight finds it’s way,
Through branches, filtered Heavenly light
Where cool green moss-banks lay.
A puppy-dog with wagging tail
I count among the best.
I love a ship with billowed sail
Or an April robin’s breast.
And blossoms white in spring-time
That come heralding the May
And frogs that sing “it’s green-up time”
And the smell of new-mown hay.
I love a home with hearthside bright
And children small to hug,
I love to sit by candle-light
When all is warm and snug.
And the at night all gathered there
A family round the fire,
With gladsome song to quell despair
And fulfil the heart’s desire.
I love the autumn’s red and gold
I love the sunrise fair,
And among them does my heart enfold
A maid with shining hair
A moonrise on some hidden lake
Among the forest pine…
There is so much from life to take
In this world of yours and mine.
Then I love the blessed Christmas-tide
The Birthday of Our Lord.
For He who came and for us died
Shall ever be adored…
Of the many things we love the best
Of these that human’s share,
There are some that stand above the rest
For God has put them there.
A Book of Poetry & Prose by Lorne C, Loney, 1964.
