Life
An ongoing process
A recipe
For a future self

If we take the ingredients
And mix them right
Our ever changing self
Will be better

Take what life gives
The teaspoon of happiness
Rejoice
Swallow
The cup of boredom
But don't let it sit
Make it work

When life
Gives you lemons
Don't become sour
Take what you learn
Mix in a little zest
Let its sour taste
Complement the sweetness
Of the joys

A little sweet
A little sour
A tiny pinch of salt

When life gives you lemons
Let it flavour your life
