Lemonade

When in life we are given 
Lemons bitter and so sour,
Choose to make Lemonade,
To ourselves empower.

Take the negative,
The bitter, sour of
And turn it into positive,
Sweeten it with Love.

I have learned to do this
I must say rather well.
My Lemonade is free
For I will never sell.

The recipe is simple
With a few basic needs.
You'll need some lemons
With/without seeds.

Take those bitter lemons,
Give them many squeezes
Add in some Holy Water
Along with God's Pleases.

As you are stirring,
The bees for honey, ask
Mix in lots of laughter
To make a happy task.

Introduce some sunshine,
To bring out the sweetness of
And when it has matured,
Be sure to serve with Love!
