Our Five Senses Make Weak Defenses

We use five senses every day
As we work and as we play
They are useful and handy
I will list them so you see
We could never live without
What these senses are all about
Eyes can do so many things
With the looks that they can bring
Joy, passion and sensual
They can stare with sexual
Ideas that glimmer, glow and shine
Whenever your eyes meet mine
Fingers are for feeling
And they always get me reeling
Every time they brush by me
I feel alive and free
Knowing they are there to hold
Whenever my world turns cold
Noses are used for making
Smells seem so intoxicating
Like the lingering sweet scent
Every time that you invent
Mixture of candles and perfume
Filling a romantic room
Mouths and lips are used for tasting
Each day I am never wasting
Chances of a yummy kiss
Or flavors that I cant resist
Of chocolates I am gently fed
On a soft and loving bed
Ears are used for whispering
Every time I'm listening
To a voice I want to hear
I love you's so loud and clear
In a tone we understand
I'm your woman--- Your my man
There is nothing left to do
But use our senses all day through
They are like a hidden gem
Of unexpected feelings
