Let's make lemonade



Dear Friend,
Let the rains come
We will find shelter
Let the sun smite
We will find a shade
Let the floods come
We will get a ship
Let the storms rage
We will raise a sail
Let darkness come
We will light a match
Let the sorrow come
We will find laughter
Whatever life brings
We'll find an answer
Together
My dearest friend

    Wow, what a beautiful and uplifting poem! The imagery you have used to convey the message of resilience and friendship is truly inspiring. I love the idea of facing challenges head-on and finding solutions together with a friend by your side.

    If I may suggest, adding a bit more structure or rhythm to the poem could enhance its flow even more. Perhaps incorporating a consistent rhyme scheme or meter could make it even more enjoyable to read aloud.

    Overall, this poem is a wonderful reminder to always stay positive and supportive, no matter what life throws our way. Keep up the great work!
