Have you Ever

Have you ever sat in that sun-warmed sand

with the water at your feet?

Have you ever felt the breeze and heard the birds sing

a song sung at it's very own beat?

Have you ever watched the rain and seen a single drop

make its path down to that window pane?

Have you ever laid in freshly-cut grass and watched

a butterfly flutter on by?

Have you ever stepped out into a world of white
newly blanketed with snow?
Have you ever seen and held a newborn babe
with the biggest eyes and little nose?
Have you ever taken a second and thanked your God
for everything you see and know.
Have you ever realized what a beautiful life
you're experiencing here and now.
