Our Precious Senses Have you ever really stopped to think About the precious value of our senses, There’s sight and taste, touch and smell And the pleasure hearing recompenses. The senses that are bestowed on us, We all seem to take for granted, We smell the perfume of the rose And all come away enchanted. We see the wonder nature brings But if we should lose our sight, It would seem as if we’re cast adrift All alone on the blackest night. If we couldn’t hear a song- bird sing It is something all would fear, A Jackie’s laugh, a Curlew’s call, A tragedy if we couldn’t hear. When starvation shoots her hunger darts And food is the only thought, The pleasure that we get from taste When a fresh tasty meal is brought. If we should lose the sense of touch, Do you realize what we would miss, The velvet skin on a baby’s bum, The magic feel of a gentle kiss. But the greatest sense that all may share That’s bestowed from up above, For life would be both bleak and bare Without the ability to love. |

Lindsay, I am sitting here in silence. Your words are so well said, beautifully spoken, and the message rings out clearly. We are lucky. Even those of us who not as blessed as others can feel love and give love. You, my friend, wrote a wonderful tribute to all that blesses us. Alison |
