Lemon Tree

Good things were happening beyond what she could see

Things were very different, as they should be

You can feel it because this time it was all about me

The root of every problem, I created

Usually beginning with the boys I have dated

All in the hopes of endless romance and true love

Forever with the soul mate sent from above

Ha! Eye roll and belly laughter...

There would be none of that in this next chapter:

Jobs rewards, allowing her a moment to boast

Texts rolling in from those she misses the most

And a Holiday card arriving... that struck a chord in her heart

A reminder this would be the first Christmas 12 states apart

Yet, in the distance the sight of a lemon tree untouched by snow

A sign some things require sunshine in order to fully grow!
