I Smell

I smell the salt air

Blowing in from the sea

It’s clean and refreshing

And very relaxing to me

I smell the green grass

Growing in the field nearby

Its newness strengthened

From the sun up in the sky

I smell the fragrance of Spring

Flowers coming into bloom

And vision how wonderfully

They beautify my room

I smell hamburgers

Cooking on the grill

My mouth watering

Eager to get my fill

I smell the gentleness

Of dew upon the lawn

Its life-giving moisture

Greets the new day morn

I smell the crisp night air

And feel my nostrils swell

Then gazing up to heaven

Thank God for the gift of smell
