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!
