Did you ever
smell the rain
before it fell?
Did you ever
search the beach
for that perfect shell?
Did you ever
make a wish
upon a falling star?
Did you ever
steal a ride
on a railroad car?
Did you ever
touch a tree
just to feel the bark?
Did you ever
close you eyes
just to see the dark?
Did you ever
hear the lightening
split the sky?
Did you ever
yell into a canyon
to hear the reply?
Did you ever
stroll through the grass
in your barefeet?
Did you ever
carve your initials
in wet concrete?
Did you ever
take a moment
to just enjoy living?
Did you ever
stop to realize
that time is unforgiving?
