Too many to have just one favorite, but then I don't have any one favorite of anything. Whitman's Song to Myself is one favorite. Another classic, less winded one is When You are Old by Yeats. A more modern favorite is Morning in the Burned House by Margaret Atwood. Same title as her book--very real and touching. Another favorite and better known poem is High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. A poem my father read to me when I was a kid. I think that is one of tjames favorites too.
