Favorite Things

My daughter Cameron wrote a poem for the Young Authors program in the Lee's Summit school district. She didn't win (boo), but advanced pretty far with her poem, and I figured that it deserved some broader attention. Watch your back, Maya Angelou.

Favorite Things
by Cameron Shandrow

Smoothies with juice
Soft fur on kittens
Beautiful seashells
New furry mittens
Sleeping on days off
With very good dreams
These are a few
Of my favorite things

My very nice teacher
Hannah Montana
Cuddling with dad
Eating a banana
The moon above
And the stars when they sing
These are a few
Of my favorite things
