THE 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.
