The different scents flowing on the air
bring certain memories back to me.
Most are very pleasant and brings back the Days,
of wonderful times.. in my memory.
The smell of a swimming pool and Coppertone
brings memories back of my teens.
Summers long gone, but still in my mind.
Oh, what wonderful scenes.
A clean crisp scent of a winter night
brings memories back, when I was small.
Walking down the street with my cousins,
is surely one of my favorites of all.
The smell of the kitchen in the morning
when my dad was ready for work.
The sweetness of his aftershave and
Brylcream,
in my mind will forever, lurk.
I could go on and on about marvelous scents.
They are deeply imbedded in my mind.
Beautiful, wonderful memories.
They are the best ones that I can find.
Today when I smell these glorious scents,
my thoughts go back to the day
of what I was doing at that time, and
my mind starts to wander away.
