Exceptional For lemons that show possibility for change Lessons Learned and Spiritual : Making Lemonade by Debi Pick Marquette

Writing about lemons, is nothing new to poetry  But there are times that lemons can fool you totally . I don't believe all lemons, should be given equal ranks Especially when sweetening, the lemon said, 'no thanks'    Looking at a lemon, you can't see the fruit inside It can be so beautiful, but inside it has died  People are like lemons, make life sweeter or more sour   My mom warned me about these, that love or else devour     Lemons can have bad spots, that need to be cut out  Bitterness stuck in your mouth, like venom there's no doubt   But "a lemon that's a lemon?" You can't win, I know first hand   They'll steal from underneath you, so they should all be banned .   Much like apples in a pail, a few don't spoil the bunch    Take the good and make yourself, a drink for your next lunch   Do what you must do, to keep the positive in life   Don't take the personality, of lemons that cause strife    I have a lemonade stand; a cup of how you choose   sweeten it with honesty, are just a couple do's  Serve with a clear conscience, are options we should use      One more thing that you should know, I don't supply the booze     Recognized Author Notes This was a little lesson taught to me by my mother. She said, lemons are not all created equal. That you must keep your eyes open to the ones who can make other things in life taste better, those that are just sour by nature, the ones that can make your life miserable without any thought of sweetening, and those that can destroy your vision for life by squirting their juice in your eye. I agree, to choose the ones that you are able to work with and make lemonade with them. All the others, as my mother always said, Just spit it out and don't be foolish enough to try that one again.
