Have You Ever

Have you ever taken the measure
      And viewed the world from another side

Have you ever had the pleasure
      Of bridging a great divide

Have you ever undertaken an endeavor
      And found it to be a bumpy ride

Have you ever felt such pressure
      You crumbled up and cried

Have you ever like captain clever
       Forgotten to account for a waning tide

Have you ever checked the weather
      And found it to be mostly outside

Have you ever plucked the feathers
      From the chicken that you fried

Have you ever at your leisure
      Stared at the moon cross eyed

Have you ever searched for treasure
      And found it far and wide

Have you ever seen forever 
     And chosen there to reside
