Sweet Aroma

Sweet Aroma

Today in many stores galore
You may find many exotic
Fragrances
Many excellent aromas
Be it of multitudes of flowers
Or of the world's array of spices
Among the glittering shelves
May you peruse for hours

But there is none so sweet
In which you may indulge
From your head to your feet
Than that special heavenly
Scent
Of a Savior whose
Life was poured out, spent
Just for you

So while it is your Today
While you still have some say
Some choice
To decide
Letting go
Of your Self
In which most of this
fleshly world dwells
Carry His Sweet Aroma
Out to a dying peoples
Of our precious Christ
For us who died
Who made such
An agonizing sacrifice
Wishing only
To sprinkle Himself,
His Aroma,
His Sweet Goodness
Into us
