senses

What is that sound I can hear?
Cheerful noise of children playing,
happy song of tweeting birds,
the roaring traffic passing by.

What is that aroma I can smell?
Sugary sweetness of something cooking,
scented perfume of garden flowers,
the freshness of clean linen.

What is that I can see?
Fluffy white clouds all big and soft,
rosy red apple on the tree,
a ship sailing out to sea.

What is that I can feel?
The soft touch of a baby skin,
cold rain falling on my face,
the warm embrace of my loved ones arms.
