Activity 1
Our sense organs are the windows to know the beautiful world. So let‟s thank God for blessing
us with this unique treasure of senses and appreciate it.
Learn the poem given below.
GOD GAVE ME …..
God gave me eyes that I might see,
The wonder of a blossoming tree.
My dolly’s face, my story book,
And how the various creatures look.
God gave me ears that I might hear,
The laugh of my friends and family ringing clear.
My kitten’s purr, a violin,
And mother when she calls me in.
God gave a tongue that I might know,
The flavour of all fruits that grow.
The taste of honey from the bee,
And good things mother cooks for me.
I thank you, God, for making me,
So that I hear and feel and see.
And since these good things come from you,
I’ll use them as you want me to.
