Lemon custard
Lemon pie
Better in my belly
Than my eye.
In my water
In my mouth
You cleanse my blood
Improving health.
I love your yellow–
So cheery and bright
My own little piece
Of sunshine’s light.
Round and firm
Juicy and fresh
You’re a tangy gift
Of deliciousness!
I’m living on a beautiful Hawaiian farm right now with lots and lots of lemon trees. I’ve been cooking with lemons, meditating with lemons, juggling lemons, admiring lemons, and drinking lemon water every single day. The lemons have been an inspiring and healing addition to my life! They have helped me have more energy, a stronger immune system, a cheerful mood, and they have even shrunk a cyst I have had for years on my wrist! I have been feeling so grateful to the lemons in my life lately, I decided to write this little poem.
