On the day of our creation

God made the wondrous nose

So we could smell what Mom was cooking

And we could sniff the fragrant rose

When we’re sick it’s always running

When we’re happy then it glows

And it twinkles when were laughing

And turns up at smelly toes!

But the best thing that it tells us

And of everything it knows

Is the air is always sweetest

In the garden where Christ rose!
