Purple Lilacs

People have said, "stop and smell the roses."
Untrue, for me, with the roses.
Right for this girl?
Purple lilacs are my preference.
Lightly scented and lovely.
Every so often, I stop and inhale their aroma.

Light, soothing feelings are in every sniff.
I can't get enough of them.
Lilacs really are my favourite flowers.
Always saddening, though, when their time comes to an end.
Couldn't they stay for longer than a week and a bit?
Sadly, they'll only ever be short lived.
