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
Our noses are for smelling food
But also the wind and the grass and
If we try very hard, butterflies
Our hands our for feeling
But also for hugging and touching so gently
Our mouths and tougues are for tasting
But also for saying words, like
"I love you", and
"Thank you, God, for all of these things."
