Have You Ever

Have you ever sat under a shade tree
Looked up at midday to see the sun 
Shining through the leaves
It looks like a painting done by
Claude Monet or Thomas Kinkade

Have you ever been in a boat or on the 
Ocean shore, watched the waves come
Rolling in and then crashing at the end.
Then again watching and listening to the
 water come rushing in, over an over again.

Have you ever driven down a country road
With open fields of  bright green grass,You 
slow down just to watch it dance in the wind 
Revealing it's beauty hidden within 
You notice the different shades  of grass 
Changing colors fast, you drive up ahead 
To notice it has all turned red, only 
Then, you realize it's a field full of roses.
