Have You?


Have you ever walked a dirt road

In the middle of the afternoon?

Have you watched a ladybug

Or saw a Hummingbird in June?


Have you held an inch worm?

Have you caught a frog?

Have you washed clothes outdoors?

Have you sat in silence on a log?


Have you ever sat in the wood

In a clearing all alone?

Just sitting in the silence

Feeling right at home?


Have you ever seen the stars

Where they are the only light?

Except for the moon of course

That's a country night.


Have you ever been at peace?

To just sit still and sigh

Because it's all so beautiful

The dirt road and the sky.


The Cicada's and the Katydid's

The crickets and the toads

I remember all of these

And those dirt roads.
