When life gives you strawberries
make strawberry lemon-aid.
I think this is a good trade,
most of us have lemons in our lives
with these we often find our strives.
If we sit back and take time to realize
we have more strawberries in our lives.
Mash them up,drain the juice
Take a cup, sip it up
This mixes something sweet in with the sour
Making strawberry lemon-aid should only take an hour

I like the way you spelled "lemon-aid" in this poem. it did cheer me up which is what I asked for. A very nice write. I needed a reminder that we all get lemons sometimes. Thanks for entering. I love it

Such an uplifting tone to your canvas. I love the thoughts that sift through your poem. To me, "strives" seems forced, but I too realize rhyming can be quite difficult when the words we search are lost to the unknown. Love your direction, just the rhyme doesn't hit strong for me. Great job though!
Thank you for your entry and best of luck to you in the contest!
