Lavender!

The sweetest smelling flower that I have ever seen; Lavender it’s called, it grows down by the stream; It has beautiful purple blooms that sway upon the breeze; Tempting me to take it, my senses it does tease; I use it for a lot of things, like dried and put in tea; It has the most relaxing smell, I like to mix it with potpourri; Sometimes I like to pick it and just hold it in my hand; Some people think that it is ugly but they just don’t understand; Not only does it smell sweet but it’s soft and delicate; It has so many medicinal qualities and it burns so fresh when lit; My grandmother told me that if you braid it to hang above your bed, The soothing scent will catch nightmares and give you good dreams instead; Everything about Lavender is so appealing to me; And with all the special traits it has, I’m sure you will agree! ~Honorable Mention in the "The Flower" Contest by A Rambling Poet~
