Making Real Sense Of The Senses

Our eyes are for looking at things

But they are also for crying

When we are very happy or very sad

Our ears are for listening

But so are our hearts

So are our hearts

Our noses are for smelling food

But also the wind and the grass

And if we try very hard, butterflies

Our hands are for feeling

But also for hugging and touching

So gently, so gently

Our mouths and tongues are for tasting

But also for saying words like 'I love you'

And 'Thank you, God, for all of these things'
