My Perfume Secret... Fully Unveiled!

Blog Posted:11/16/2007 10:30:00 AM
A friend once asked me "What's the name of your favorite perfume?" I really didn't know what to reply with, I've never thought of it. However, after minutes of contemplation, I replied: "My favorite perfume is not one extracted from beautiful colored roses and jasmines. My favorite perfume does not come from neither amber nor musk. My favorite perfume is too precious to be bottled up even if it were in the most luxurious bottles. My favorite perfume cannot be spread over a body; however it can be spread over a soul. My favorite perfume cannot be found in any stores although it is not that expensive. My favorite perfume is the scent that wakes me up every warm Friday morning as my mom bakes chocolate-chip cookies in the oven. My favorite perfume is the fragrance of freshness and purity that comes from the soil after every time it rains on my great grandfather's land. My favorite perfume is the scent one can smell from the bodies of new born babies after the angels carry them to earth. My favorite perfume is the scent that comes from the bright sheets of new books at the beginning of every scholar year. My favorite perfume is the one that I smell off my father's clothes as I embrace him after he comes back from a long day at work. My favorite perfume is the one that comes from the rosary that my grandmother holds and prays with for hours as she wears her beautiful white praying gown. My favorite perfume is alcohol free, and it is not one I own to show off to others. My favorite perfume is not one that satisfies me for several minutes, it is one that satisfies me eternally and comforts my soul. My favorite perfume is one thing, made of everything.. "

What a truly sensational way you have about you. You have an eye for the small things that most pay little or no attention to. I can't wait to dive in and read your poetry. Welcome to the Soup! This is a great place to be, though I'm sure you're finding that out everyday. Peace!
