    Poem Commentary

    Just thinking about how life is and how we are supposed to learn things. Never be afraid to learn

    This is Life?

    This is Life?

    When we are born we are subject to be

    From what we have acquired by what we smell hear taste touch and see

    These are the avenues by which we learn each day

    By the way, what did you learn today?

     

    Did you learn that these senses can fool you?

    That they can misdirect and misguide you?

    Have you put your trust in any of these?

    If so give a listen to me please

     

    The senses are here to help us along

    For without a voice, how could you sing a song?

    Without your eyes how would you not get lost?

    But with them, what you see before you is of such great cost

     

    Without a nose how would you ever know the scent of a rose?

    Or how to find the apple pie whose scent is right under that nose?

    Our taste buds are here to help us to enjoy

    In the very things we have said so far, remember that pie, please enjoy

     

    Our ears are there for us to understand

    Which direction the sound is and where is the band

    But if any of these were not intact

    How would any of us know how to react?

     

    But God Almighty has given us all of these and so much more

    So that we can figure out how to understand and to know the score

    For without Him, we would surely be lost

    So use all five to seek Him daily, so that you will never ever be lost
