The Things I Love, By Scotty McKenzie Frazier. A butterfly dancing in the sunlight, A bird singing to his mate, The whispering pines, The restless sea, The gigantic mountains, A stately tree, The rain upon the roof, The sun at early dawn, A boy with rod and hook, The babble of a shady brook, A woman with her smiling babe, A man whose eyes are kind and wise, Youth that is eager and unafraid, When all is said, I do love best, A little home where love abides and where there's kindness, Peace, And rest.
