The Senses
 
'What eyes cannot see'
you can see
with your heart and mind
altho your eyes may not
picture the beauty
you can still enjoy
all the beauty you find

Sometimes we who
have eyes to see
miss some of the
beauty every day
we look past
so many lovely things
we're looking
some other way

Our eyes may be lowered
to the ground
when a beautiful rainbow
is overhead
we may be looking
upward to the sky
when the roses are
blooming a pretty red

If you can not see
the beauty with your eyes
listen with your ears,
hear the children at play
or the sound of
the chirping of the birds
you can hear beauty
every minute of the day

If with your ears
you can not hear
you can feel it
with your touch
feel the softness
of an animal or a child
it's God world and
it's beauty is much

If we can see, hear,
or feel the beauty
there is plenty for us
to find and enjoy
in our heart and mind
is where we really see
there is great beauty
that we can employ
