The rose of summer has no nose Only releases it scent for mankind As its fragrant blossoms grow Releasing their scent well defined Only available to insects and man Those are enjoyed through nose and eyes God gave to highest creation of His plan Man has won the gift of God's prize Thank you, God, for a sense of smell The gift of good vision Five senses God has given as well So merciful His decision Having trouble again with stuffiness, breathing and sense of smell. I know the pollen's scent draws insects in to pollinate the flowers.

Rose, though emanates smell has no nose to enjoy its own smell. God has gifted us with five senses so that we can smell and taste. We have to appreciate this and see it as God's gift. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas !

Sorry if you have lost sense of smell. It's better than losing taste though. My strange condition brought on by a doctor's medicine for me greatly affected my mouth, so eating is a bit of a challenge, but thank goodness I still have tongue and taste buds!!

Andrea, The sense of smell is involved with our ability to taste our food. I am sure you have had a cold in your lifetime and know how being stuffed up from a cold can make your sense of smell be off or not existent. Thanks for stopping by. It is my husband that seems to have lost at least partial sense of smell and taste. I have some that comes and goes. Sara
