Love In Unexpected Places

Like caramel in a lion's cadaver

Christ in Majesty born in a manger

Shekels in a shark's braces

There could be love in unexpected places

Ever feel like the shit in the mud

Trodden, sunken, swept by the flood

Now in sight, unsightly, causing smirks on smiling faces

There could be love in unexpected places

There could be love in unexpected places

Like treasure veiled in uninviting cases

Thunderous victories in unprepared races

And in gifts as teensy as tiny shoe laces

Some seek love in lemon Lamborghinis

Others in blue perfumed bedrooms

I found it in the pain and punctured palms

Of a marred and mangled man
