My Five Senses


Surrounded by a liquid, warm,
     I feel it soothing my new skin.
My hands and feet move all around
     to touch these soft walls here within.

I soon hear something calm and sweet
     that lulls me- and such comfort brings;
a muffled voice that fills my ears;
     a lovely sound within that rings.

This liquid has so many scents
     as I breathe with my mouth and nose.
They all smell good; some wake me up
     and others make me want to doze.

And now my taste buds come alive
     with all this soup that I drink in.
So many flavors I can taste;
     this brand new sense, I now begin.

There's something bright my eyes can see;
     though filtered, it is softly seen.
This glow is new, eyes opened wide,
     right through my shell, I see the sheen.

Here, in my Mama, I'll grow big,
     and soon will make my grand debut.
My strong five senses are set up-
     and in her womb, they tested true.
