Pleasant Memories
As the scent of Gardenia wafts through the house, memories of years ago spring forth
.
Being a young girl visiting my aunt
Who was kind understanding gracious lady
My bedroom was adjacent to Gardenia plants
Oh! Pleasant eves scented air wafts heady
Delectable the scent ambrosial treat
How I desired a gardenia plant for me
Then I met the man who made life complete
Who brought me gardenia from his esprit
Years have passed,the house burned to the ground_gone
The gardenia went up in the hot flames
Nothing can take the memory_it lives on
Within my heart and deep within soul's frame
Each day my thoughts turn to sweet memories
Of aunt, you, and the scent of gardenia, affinities
finis
