.lemonade.

‎.lemonade.

when life hands me lemons,

i make lemonade.

then i clean house,

like i'm getting paid.

scrub the counters

do the floors

clean my issues 

out the back door

wash the dishes

scrub the walls

sooner or later

the answer will call

when i'm in the midst of

having a panic attack

i scrub the toilet

to get my mind back.

next comes the beds

i straight each sheet.

i know that this problem 

is one i can beat.

then to finish the task

i pull out the broom

sweep this way and that

a solution is coming soon.

vacuum the house 

with a smile cheek to cheek

the answer is now mine

because i was humble and meek.

so when life hands you lemons,

make lemonade.

your problems aren't forever...

so sip slowly in the shade.
