The fragrance of love- Jessinda Mathew

Have you ever smelled love??

Do you know the fragrance of love?

Is it strong or is it light?

Does it stay or does it go?

I smelled it the day the little boy pulled my dress

to show me a puppy who was tired after a race

I was looking at the puppy faces..turn by turn

The fragrance was same and was filled with love!

I smelled it again, in a mother’s eye

when she allowed her child to fly

It had traces of fear but moments of pride

It was of course love at first sight!

Can I miss it when the father gives off his daughter?

The fragrance of love spreads deep and wide

It gives strength to both for the days to come

You try to hide the emotions.. but the fragrance stays strong!

The family you are part of ; the people you are close to

Near or far, they stick together like a glue

the close clan who stands by even after a fight

The fragrance of love keeps all of us together and tight

I can smell the fragrance when I am with my friends

Some a little light and some a little strong

But I need them at each moment.. lifelong

I preserve the fragrance for a lousy rainy day!

How was I miss the fragrance in my office..

The fragrance spread in between the works..

A little talk and a big laughter spill over the papers

The lunch room takes the fragrance to a different level.

Enjoy each moment and halt to smell

The fragrance that will make you dwell

Spread you own fragrance far and near

Take a little of mine before I go afar!
