Oh, Well

You say life has been giving you lemons.

Oh, well.

Even lemons give lessons to learn.

Recall the old adage about lemonade

And soften your cause for concern.

 

Hard times may haunt you

And taunt you to tears,

But brighter days follow the rain

To help with the healing and leave with the feeling

The payoff is worth all the pain.

 

The grass may seem greener on

The other side.

Oh, well.

Who is to say what is best?

Should I decry envy

And fold up my tent while

My neighbor stands pounding his chest?

 

So many grievances I could espouse

But instead, simply choose to dismiss.

I’ll not permit them to enter my house

Or allow them to steal my bliss.

Oh, well.
