When Life Gives You Lemons

ummm lemonade. lol

When life gives you lemons

You make lemonade,

But what do you do when there is no lemons?

You make do with what you have,

You take every chance

Every opportunity,

To make your life better

Every lemon is a missing piece to the puzzle,

A key ingredient in what you thirst for

When life gives you lemons

You make lemonade

Even if you don't have lemons

You use the ingredients to make something better

As you sit on your porch and think about memories

While sipping lemonade

Love this old saying though I prefere to add mine to my diet coke or squeeze them over fish lol, I often feel we should all learn to enjoy lemons and smile instead of grimace as the sourness of flavour imitates our lives at times and these are the times we more than ever need to smile. Keep em' coming

I like it, you have something here....but to be honest 'life gives you lemons' is such an overused comparison that it's lost it's strength. I think this poem would be stronger if you created your own metaphor.

It's an old saying, but you make it sound so cool and new.
your optimism clearly shows in the poem. Life has many flavours

I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

I really liked this.
It was short, but it got the point across.

To be simple........ This makes life richer. If we could only stop wanting so much.
