Alchemist

When lemons are flung your way,
Don't be bitter, and please don't dismay
Instead, pick them up___
One by one,
And mightily squeeze them 'til all the juice is done 
Mix very well with some sugary kindness 
Now fill the pitcher high with some confidence 

VOILA!

Bitterness into sweetness
Look at you, you alchemist
