The smell

Things that make you love someone

There are smells that take us places, pumpkin pie for thanksgiving and pine for Christmas.

There is fresh baked cookies for grandma's house and hot bread on a cold day for mom's.

As pleasant as these can be, nothing compares to the smell of you.

It's sweet and lovely, Familiar and strong.

It's like the still small voice of the spirit, it penetrates my soul.

It is quiet and subdued, yet I can recognize it across the room.

It is the smell of my home, the home of my heart and soul.

It brings me peace, comfort and assurance.

It gives me power to rise above all my foes.

It cast out all doubt and worry.

My body and soul are at rest always, when you are near.

Like a traveler, lost in a strange land with nowhere to lay his head.

When I come to you and smell your smell my heart and soul are at peace and I could sleep for a week in your arms as my bed.
