Lemonade
Make Lemonade
out of lemons
is what they suggest
why make a frown
when a smile
will contrast
take fear of failure
turn it into success
a smile is a miracle
one we all possess
What heights
can be conquered
if only we press
even lemons are tasty
if with sugar blessed
and any situation
can be positively addressed
it's our observation
a smile always
works best.

A neat analogy. I remember as a schoolboy seeking the autograph
of an admired English teacher and she obliged by penning a short
poem "The Value of a Smile" into my proffered book..I still recall her
name: Miss Tarry. She knew enough not to hurry her written words of wisdom when asked..
