Aromatics

Whatare your favorite aromatics?

I'msure that you have quite a few.

Ihave some thoughts with which you may agree.

Come!Let me share them with you.

 

Whatcould be better than freshly baked bread?

Itmakes the mouth water;

A pallet'sdelight.

Almostas refreshing as gentle spring rain

Comingsoftly and quiet on a hot dusty night.

 

Thesweet lofty smell of vanilla in baking

Arriveson wings sent from heaven above.

Thebold brawny scent of a coat made of leather;

Anotheraroma that I've come to love.

 

Toopen the door, for the very first time,

Ofa brand new car as it sits on the lot.

Tobreathe in deeply the heavenly scent

Ofyour favorite coffee fresh from the pot.

 

Butof all of the odors abundant on earth

Totease the olfactory nerve,

Thelilacs of spring are my personal choice.

Amemory cherished, to keep, to preserve.

 

So,keep these and others, your own favorite scents.

Rememberand treasure them well.

Oneof god's greatest gifts to the human condition

Isour marvelous, glorious sense of smell.
