No Matter What

Downward leads to a stream,
Happy pitchers on dry heads,
Poking thirsty cheeks to smile,
Every down leads well.

A seed's funeral,
Killed by a so(u)n,
Brings leaves- fresh harvest,
Every down leads well.

Now he runs,
To walk, he once fell,
Again and again,
Every down leads well.

A thrown lemon;
To your thirsty face,
From it make a lemonade,
Kill that thirst.

Again and again,
Every down leads well,
No matter what,
Never cease to try.

Wonderful first poem, Oluwatobi, Welcome to Poetry Soup. It will be a delight to read and become familiar with your poems in the future. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best.
