Life's Lemonade...

A Poem by Jamestown

Lemons 2 Lemonade...

Life's Lemonade...

When life serves us lemons
we are told to make lemonade,

At least that's how the old uplifting
saying goes,

In my life I have made my fair share
of lemonade, some batches have turned
out very sweet others not so much and a
few times the batch was made to perfection,

Today I was served those sour lemons yet
again and I know what I need to do but like
the sour lemons of the past it's always easier
said then done making that perfect batch,

I begin to wonder why these pesky lemons
keep finding there way into my life, to be perfectly
honest I don't even like lemons, but then I remind
myself why not, I have to keep telling myself it's
because these sour lemons need some sweetness
in their life and who better to add some sweetness to
their sour then me,

With that quick reminder I know what I have to do,
one batch of lemonade is on the way and this time
it will be pink cause I figure these lemons could use
some color in their yellow lives,

Lord I don't understand why I must keep being served
these sour lemons but I pray your will be done, and I
hope you understand when I say " I don't even like lemons
and am getting really tired of making lemonade "

When life gives you lemons, u have lot other options than lemonade, try tequilla or vodka if u dont abstain from alcohol, or u cud make lemon pickle too tastes awesum. (jokes apart)
I liked the way u presented this. I think we all should follow the saying "patience is a virtue".

Hey J. I like the reoccurring theme of lemons in this work. Lemonade is good,but I can't help to think that you are getting tired of making and drinking it. I liked this a lot and I think you deserve a Coke. Keep the faith alive. CD

I know how ya feel. I feel like I keep getting served lemons too lately and I'm tired of them. But what can you do? You can't make the bad things not happen to you, so we either deal with them and try to make the best of things or let them ruin our day.

Try to stay positive hun, things will change sooner or later [hopefully sooner then later though!].
