My Favorite Thing

A poem for Mary Jane

I want you in the morning
when I first wake in my bed

I want you in the evening
with my hands behind my head

I want you beside me
when I open up my eyes

I want you around me
Be it planned or a surprise

I want you in the summertime
The winter and the spring

I want you all year round my dear
‘Cause you’re my favorite thing

I want you when we’re inside
and I want you out of doors

I want you on the table
and I want you on the floor

I want you above me
And I want you below

If you wonder if I want you
It’s safe to say that now you know
