Some say it is for old ladies covered in frills and lace,
Others say, young sweet damsels it always should grace,
But the scent of sweet lavender should be in every home,
You may be surprised at the good properties it does own.
Light a lavender candle, it soothes all sore muscles away,
The sweet fragrance fills the air in a calm, healing way,
It helps relax and unwind, helps the body feel refreshed,
It feels like a summer day when lavender is first pressed.
It clears the mind of worries, frees the hearts from stress,
Carriers away with the flame thoughts that can depress.
So light a sweet lavender candle let it burn long and bright,
It will fill your whole being with sweet lavender delight.
Now to complete the treat, just before you try to sleep
In sweet lavender bubbles lie and have a long steep,
The fragrance of the water will wipe away all worry
And I can guarantee who will fall asleep in a hurry.
So on your way home tonight, stop and buy yourself a treat,
A lavender candle, bath bubble, your joy will be complete
If you play sweet music and let nature work her magic,
You’ll wake up in the morning feeling quite fantastic.
