The time has come for me to announce the winner for my challenge, it was very hard and everyone had such wonderful stories. The winner for "Write about a smell as if it were a friend" is...... @TheOliveTree with their story "Talking with TeaTree" congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sweet of your laugh,

Soft and simple,

Music in my ears,

Just the sond of your voice makes my heart skip a beat,

I'll gladly listen to your voice anytime,

Day or night,

Your voice, sweet and soft,

It makes me melt,

All you need to say is hi.

The older I get the younger the world becomes. Making me appear older than I really am. It feels as though the other day I was walking to the corner store with my friends with 50 cents jingling in my pocket.

The background noise was so peaceful, a silent stream trickling along, and horses hooves on the pavement. Now the noise is screaming neighbors, and the common helicopter above the house.

I look out the window, watching my grandchildren play in the field, just as I had. I smiled, things aren't the same anymore, but that's okay. They're happy.

You're in my arms, a soft sweet feeling,

Warm and comforting,

Heart full and clear,

With what's dear to me,

Then of a sudden,

I feel a rumble,

From under.
