I am so lucky that I can now smell the jasmine.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

\"tpotg-jasmine-frame-01\"<\/p>

It\u2019s the start of my day,
With my dog at my side,
As I walk through the garden
There’s a smile I can\u2019t hide
As I\u2019m wrapped in the smell,
As I pass through my gate,
Of the jasmine\u2019s perfume,
That lies there in wait
To attract me and the bees,
So we can both take our pleasure,
The bees hard at work,
Me, hard at leisure.<\/p>

The scent heavy in the air,
As night becomes day,
Before the morning breeze
Carries the fragrance away.
And as I pause by the gate,
Close by where the jasmine rest,
Indulging myself
In what nature does best,
I think of earlier times,
Of how my days used to begin,
And why I had no time then
To smell the jasmine.<\/p>
