Life just gave you lemons And you made lemonade But the lemons were all moldy The flavor off a shade No one would ever drink it No one, not even you Because drinking moldy lemonade Is not the wisest thing to do Remember lemons have a season You have second chance Make yourself a fresh batch of lemonade And experience all of life’s romance You only have this life but once It would be a pity if you fail For you alone are in control Not fate as some would wail Take a long look in the mirror Be pleased with what is there Welcome to the human race With our miseries to share Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors

When I'm down in the dumps, I'll think of lemonade and fresh starts. God gives second chances, too, something I've often been thankful for.

Thank you, Patrick, needed this one. Appreciate it. It's just when things get me down they REALLY get me down. Tired, ya know? Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You have a kind of Groucho (Grouchy?!) Marx humour in this one, Patrick, which is bittersweet but which is undeniably clownish as if to bring a smile to a world-weary face. Thank you for this intention - and it has certainly worked for me, not least because your talk of lemons is so visceral that my mouth is actually getting that tart-taste and watering! I do hope Karla appreciates when she has her head back out from underneath the duvet, bless her. I'm sure she will. xx

Refreshing write, Patrick! I guess we all need a fresh batch of lemons now and then. Nicely penned.

Now if Karla should had a generous portion of Smirnoff in it...I will be stirring that pitch into a storm myself!!!

Sour lemons for poor Karla, of course you grow them, you would know, and I have a suspicion you're peddling your product, are you? ha,
Nice one Patrick! Jasmin Horst
