Can You Hear the Rain Falling?

JOSIE'S POEMS

Senses Poems

By Josie Whitehead

Can you hear the rain falling

Or smell that perfumed rose?

Thank God for ears to listen with;

Thank God to have a nose.

Can you see the golden sun

Which rises every dawn?

In autumn do you watch red leaves

Drift down to clothe the lawn?

Can you see your mother’s smile

Or feel your father’s kiss?

Without our senses try to think

Of all the things we’d miss.

We'd never hear good music played

Or feel a gentle touch:

Without our senses - yes all five -

We’d miss out on so much.
