Dor and Mom
Hanging Sheets
Nosey Delights
From the yeasty warmth of freshly baked bread to the clean, summery haze of lavender flowers, we all have favorite smells we find particularly comforting. What’s yours?
Often there is time
for drying bed sheets on a line,
one just like the one Dad built.
And the air and sunshine linger,
in a sweet scented pile of
heaven in my arms.
And there it is again as I drift away to slumber
wrapped in memories of home.
There’s Mom, and I remember
the wind in our hair,
singing, giggling and sharing
amid white percale billowing.
Now all the store bought laundry add-ins,
softeners, purifiers and natural herbal infusions
can’t fool my nose for it surely knows
there are no man made substitutions
for sunshine, fresh air, and
memories of home.
