The senses
The things we take for granted
The senses that God has granted
without exceptions to all humans
Those who lost them value their importance
We have two eyes to see and behold
and two arms to touch and hold
We have two ears to listen more
and one mouth to talk less
and I'm still counting...
Aren't we truly blessed
Inhale and exhale
Breathe the life you were granted
Taste every sensation
Never take it for granted.
