Do You Believe

Can you see the silver lining
Of the storm clouding your mind,
Do you believe that distant shining
Is the spark of hope you left behind.

Can you hear the far off clapping
Of thunder, waves, and cheering crowds,
Do you believe that everything happening
Is for reasons you never could turn down.

Do you feel the warmth of home
Of families you've never had,
Do you smile even though your alone
Is it something you do just because you can.

Do you smell the flowers on the side of the road
Or do those little pleasures pass you by,
Do you play in the sand even though you've grown
Is life worth all the tears you once cried.

Do you taste the air when you step outside
Or just shrug the breeze away,
Do you believe the stars can predict your life
Is your heart in the way you live from day to day.

Do you see, hear, feel, smell, taste
Live every moment with nothing to lose,
Do you believe taking chances is never a waste
Because in the end this is the life you choose.
