Vision
Listen to poem:
Vision is the sense I'd least like to lose.
For vision can be a stand-in for the other four.
You can read what you cannot hear,
You can savor with your eyes,
what you cannot taste or smell.
You can sense the touchy feel of things
from their texture and appearance.
Vision is best aligned with memories
that you can recall and play-back.
Vision also has a sense of movement,
It is neither static nor fixed,
and it conveys the sense of time,
as things change, age and grow old.
Its vision's dominion, its power, its might,
That guides us through both day and the night.
So look after your eyes, to keep your images bright,
For the eyes have it!
