Have you ever?
Have you ever
read by candlelight
the flame dancing in the night
reflected on the pages
bringing the story closer
Have you ever
seen the snow
gently falling down
creating silence
with a white magic
Have you ever
walked through the snow
with the stars above
in a quiet forest
and seen beauty
Have you ever
had a toddler run to you
calling your name
the joy on their face
mirrored in yours
Have you ever
seen the leaves turn
the full color on display
the crunch and smell
of the gorgeous leaves
Have you ever
had a campfire with family
speaking into the quiet night
where the flowing fire
isn't the only warm thing
Have you ever
had family dinner
where everyone is laughing
and you talk of nothing important
and you just be
Have you ever
been underwater
and looked up
see the blue
water and sky
Have you ever
felt so loved
by just a little thing
a little gift or word
from someone who cares
Have you ever
just lived in the moment
Taking the time to look
and see the world?
