Unless

Morning birds sing, waking me slowly.

Cool breezes blow, cooling me lowly.

Life is so wonderful, almost nearly holy.

Unless you’re extinct.

Running through fields filled with flowers.

Feeling the rain, soft gentle showers.

Holding the hand of a lover for hours

Unless she wants to talk about feelings then forget it.

Each day is a gift, giving for giving.

Each sin is a chance to be so forgiving.

Each year is another time for real living

Unless you died that year then nevermind.

Seeing the world as a place full of wonder

Can make your life joyful, never torn asunder.

Playing with kangaroos, way down under.

Unless you prefer giraffes.

These lines of poetry are me being silly.

They joke and they jest, going all willy-nilly

Written while drinking moonshine, made by a hillbilly.

Unless you're my pastor reading this then it was lemonade.
