Essential Bottles
To be upon the bottle in
the oils, that make our day
helps smooth to be our quickest win
with hopefuls on display.

Just put a dab upon the face.
Makes beauty big by sweetest grace.
When lacking focus for the task,
it's Frankincense. That's all we ask.

Essential is the oil to cook.
On goodness we now feast.
Some dishes come from one big book,
the rise of bread from yeast.

Essential plans for life on Earth
may need some oils of essence rare.
Aromas show their greatest worth
attending to some anxious care.
