This short poem by Scottie McKenzie Frasier exudes joy and gratitude throughout, but its last three lines take a philosophical turn: identifying and prioritizing that which is truly important in one's life.

The Things I Love by Scotty MacKenzie 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.
