Familiar scent
Walking through the halls one day,
Past my baby brother wanting to play,
I stopped when i smelt a familiar scent,
One i swear was heaven sent,
I opened the door to my mothers room,
The tears did fall without a clue,
That night i lost my mother so dear,
Entering this room was what i did fear,
I gathered my courage and stepped right in,
All at once i felt like i sinned,
But following the scent right beside the bed,
I apologized for my mothers dead,
I found a music box and opened it slowly,
There i found something glowing,
I stopped and stared at a bottle of perfume,
I sprayed it once and a scent filled the whole room,
And all at once i heard a voice,
Like my mother saying, “Good choice”,
I turned around and there i saw,
My mother's spirit standing tall,
“All i want or have to say,
I’m proud of you my daughter, every single day.”
As tears then poured from my eyes,
And all i did was sob and cry,
My mother kissed my head gently,
All the pain disappeared and felt her love of plenty,
She said goodbye,
To stop the cry i tried,
Three years later i still hold her perfume close,
For i know she loves me the most,
Such a lovely familiar scent,
Which had always been heaven sent,
I love my mother till the day i die,
I promise you this, I'll always try.
