Lemons

Tangy and sour,
					yellow and bright
					
					Lemons are deceptive,
					tough skin and sour fruit;
					but when you take the time to add sugar and water,
					they create something sweet.

					Lemons are like people,
					you have to know them and spend time with them,
					to understand and enjoy them.

As always, thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it. I can go for a glass of lemonade anytime, especially on a hot day. Now I want some. :) Thanks again! ~Grace
