Poetic Asides If You...

If You Skipped Like a Child

If you skipped like a child,

you’d smile more.

If you chirped like a bird,

your mood would lighten.

If you slithered like a snake,

you’d wriggle till you’d giggle.

If you purred like a cat,

you’d take a restful nap.

If you’d bark like a dog,

you’d feel bold.

If you were thankful, even in trials,
your heart would catch up.
