        SENSES, SIXTH ?
We all have five senses I’ve just written about,
Appreciated by all who have them I don’t doubt,
But I have another sense and others have it too,
A sixth sense that often sends a warning to you.

Wait at the white line don’t go ahead right now,
It seems odd to obey the sense but you do anyway,
Then around the corner comes a fast flying truck,
Had you been in the centre you would have been struck.

A sixth sense tells you a friends needs a hand or a call,
She blesses you for she needed help, she’d had a fall,
You tiptoe into your child’s room in the dark of night
Just as the little one was awakened in panic and fright.

A keen a sense to me as the other five that are all ours,
But not easy to put into words, I have thought for hours
To give my sixth sense the true name that suits it best,
It’s the prompting of His spirit in which we can all invest.
