The Ear

The Ear

© by Bud Lemire on March 30, 2006

We depend so much upon the ear

So many things that we can hear

We listen to the voices when people talk

Or the footsteps of the people as they walk

The sound of someone tooting their car horn

Or thunder heard in a rain storm

The creaking of an opening or shutting door

There's so many things our ears are for

Oh, let's not forget the music that we hear

That touches our soul when it reaches our ear

And they help keep the glasses upon our face

Without them there, they'd be out of place

Some are big and some are small

Others stick out and we see it all

In cold weather we have to cover them up

With something warm, like an ear muff

The ears tune into what they want to hear

Sometimes though, it won't come in clear

We owe so much to the ear, it's true

If you have an ear, I can read this poem to you

When you have your hearing, then your ear

is working good. You can use it and enjoy it

for all those things above and more.
