THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED

I can wake up in the morning

And walk down the stairs

Because I have feet which

Will carry me there.

 

I can watch television

Or read a good book

Because I have eyes which

Allow me to look.

 

I can speak to you

And hear your reply.

My ears catch your question.

My voice tells you why.

 

I can reach out and touch you,

And stroke your hair;

Let my fingertips tell you

Just how much I care.

 

These marvelous senses;

A joy to behold;

To take them for granted

Is callously cold.
