Soul Scent

Soul Scent

by Bud Lemire on Jan 4, 2005

Even though you know where their spirit went

When they come around, you can smell their soul scent

A smell that could be anything

That only their soul can bring

Though it seems they're in a far away land

It's beside you, that they do stand

Smell the odor, coming to your nose

It could be a lilac, or maybe a rose

Something to arouse your senses, something distinct

Someone you've known, who has a close link

Maybe a cigar they smoked, or a fish

Possibly a soap they used, or black licorice

Maybe a perfume that they use to wear

To let you know that they are there

Maybe some food that they use to eat

Or something as smelly as their stinky feet

Something that is familiar to you

So you'll know it's them coming through

The Soul Scent coming to your nose

To let you that, Heaven always knows

You can always smell those that have passed....when you smell their soul scent.
