How have you ever really lived
if you haven't
ran barefoot in the snow
eaten ice cream
in the witer
or swam
naked
in freezing waters?
How have you ever really lived
if you haven't
kissed some one,
just for fun
laughed and laughed
for absolutely no reason
taken a day off
to play mini-golf?
How have you ever really lived
if you haven't
written poetry
in front of the fireplace
cried
to the ocean
or bathed in the sunlight
lying on the grassy earth?
How have you ever lived
if you haven't
taken the plunge
dreamed crazy dreams
and chased them
believed in somebody
...believed in yourself?
