WHEN LIFE GIVES US LEMONS.....

We went to Jack’s Bistro as usual
And met our various friends
At our Saturday morning 
Coffee Club
Where we share 
Our joys
Our pain
Our hurts - 
And there have been many such
Over the years. 
Some of us are Christians
So when we say
“We’ll pray”
We mean it - 
And we really do believe that 
Prayer changes things!
So when life gives us lemons
We make lemonade - 
And I promise that 
Before 10.00 am
We never touch the 
Jamesons Irish Whisky!

"The morning cup of coffee 
     has an exhilaration about it 
          which the cheering influence 
of the afternoon 
     or evening cup of tea
               cannot be expected to reproduce."
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.


P.S.  I also wrote a Haiku for today - so you can tell what I had for breakfast!

Went down well at Jack’s Bistro
