For the Sense of Smell

copyright Bob Hostetler

Gracious Lord, thank you for the smell of wood smoke.
Thank you for the fragrance of a new book,
the cornucopiaroma of a Sunday dinner,
the scent of a rose,
the bouquet of a fresh Spring day,
for lilac and lily,
fresh-fallen snow and summer showers on city sidewalks,
new-cut grass and old-growth forests,
chocolate, bubble gum,
and fresh-bathed babies.
Thank you, in Jesus' name, amen.
