In this world we live in, there are five senses we possess

They help us navigate through life, and make it truly blessed

The sense of sight allows us to see the beauty all around

From the vibrant colors of nature, to the art that can astound

The sense of sound allows us to hear the music of the world

From the chirping of the birds, to the laughter of a child unfurled

The sense of touch allows us to feel the texture of all things

From the softness of a rose petal, to the roughness that a rope brings

The sense of taste allows us to savor the flavors we adore

From the sweetness of a strawberry, to the spiciness that we can't ignore

The sense of smell allows us to take in the scents of life

From the freshness of the ocean, to the aroma of a home-cooked strife

These five senses are our gifts, they enhance our every day

They bring us closer to the world, in every single way

So cherish every moment, and take in all that you can

Use your senses to experience life, and make it truly grand.

Let your eyes soak in the beauty, of a sunrise or a sunset

Listen to the symphony of nature, the birds, the wind, and the insects

Feel the warmth of the sun, or the chill of a winter's day

Taste the richness of food, the sweetness of fruits on display

Inhale the fragrance of flowers, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee

Let your senses be your guide, to explore the world and be free

For it is through our senses, that we truly come alive

They give us joy and wonder, and help us to thrive

So take a moment to appreciate, the gift of your senses true

And let them lead you to experiences, that enrich and renew.

Let your fingers trace the lines, of a book or a piece of art

Let your skin feel the warmth, of a hug or a lover's heart

Let your tongue explore the flavors, of cuisine from all around

Let your nose savor the aromas, that bring memories and surround

For it is with our senses, that we connect to the world so grand

They help us make sense of it all, and help us understand

So cherish these precious gifts, that we often take for granted

And use them to appreciate, the world that we've been handed

For in every moment, there's a sensory experience to be found

And by savoring each one, life becomes a richer playground.

Let your senses be your guide, as you journey through your days

For they can bring you pleasure, in so many different ways

Bask in the warm sunshine, as it touches your skin

Listen to the rustle of leaves, as the wind begins to spin

Feel the softness of a blanket, as you curl up on the couch

Smell the aroma of baking, as you enter a bakery's vouch

Taste the richness of chocolate, as it melts upon your tongue

Marvel at the beauty of a sunset, as the sky is being hung

All of these experiences, are made possible by our senses true

They bring us closer to the world, and all that it can do

So never take them for granted, or let them slip away

Use them to explore the world, and make the most of every day

For our senses are our guides, on this journey that we call life

And by using them fully, we can make it a richer, bolder strife

So next time you're feeling lost, or in need of inspiration

Just turn to your senses, and let them lead you to salvation.
