Have You Ever

Have You Ever Stood in a field of ripened gold grain Lifted your face to be kissed by the rain Felt in your heart the anguish of pain? * Held someone's hand in their hour of sorrow Brought a new dream to the edge of tomorrow Leaned on a friend finding strength to borrow? * Spent a sweet moment with a child at play Given a home to a lost lonely stray Found faces in clouds as they float away? * Held a lost moment hidden in time Sucked on the juice of a tree ripened lime Whispered a word in transcendant rhyme? * Descend in the depths and found yourself lost Awakend with wonder to windowpane frost Swallowed a slight despite the high cost? * Danced in the wind with a rose in your hair Cried all alone with no one to care Hoped for tomorrow with all you can share? * These are the moments that make life worthwhile Knowing that living shares joy with the trial And so much is solved when a face wears a smile.
