The Lemon Life
Life will give you lemons.
Those lemons will be sour
But if you think about it hard enough,
you’ll realize,
lemons are used various ways.
It could be lemon cake,
it could be cookies,
it could be lemonade,
it could be that extra flavor that the food needs.
If you only notice the sour parts
you won’t taste the sweetness.
I know when you are negative
you will drag other people down.
However,
if you are positive
people will feel happy
they will want to hang around.
If you have fun with the people around you,
life will look less sour.
Soon you will start to notice,
there are fewer lemons.
Life will look sweet.
I really like the metaphor you are drawing between lemons and life.
ReplyDeleteI like this poem, the metaphor of "when life gives you lemons" is taken an interesting way, instead of the cliche "make lemonade".
