My eyes were made to reap with joy magnolia’s snowy bloom
My sense of smell to taste the sweet of rose’s soft perfume
My ears were made to hear the raindrops tiptoe through the night
My hands were made to touch the dogwood petal milky white

My eyes were meant to spot a cardinal’s red in revelry
My ears to hear the flutter of wings from out the holly tree
My mouth to whisper words of praise that all this beauty lies
In great abundance all around me under azure skies

My eyes were meant to see the truth within the depths of yours
My ears were meant to hear a distant cry I’ve heard before
My heart was made to harbor compassion’s precious seed
My hands were meant to reach to others in their hour of need

My feet are meant to leave a path that I have tread on earth
My heart contains the treasures that are of greatest worth
My soul is meant to lead the mind on paths it knows is right
My eyes were meant to see the beauty in your eyes tonight

You make great sense of all the senses. You paint a wonderful world of beauty for all our senses to enjoy. Love it!

Beautifully written. I sense these very traits in many authors at Spiritual's Forum, through their written words of praise, love and creation. I enjoyed this one much. marcy

Liz, I don't know what to say of your poetry.
I find my words most redundant when I reply.
Your subject matters are always different, with much thought, and well put together.
Always leaving one with something to think about.

You are truly gifted my dear, I'm so glad you share that gift as you do

The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you.
