I am Lemon.  Probably not too many recall the song you wrote of me--So I will remind you—

         "Lemon tree very pretty.  And the Lemon flower is sweet.  But the fruit of the poor Lemon is impossible to eat."

          I am Lemon.  I thank you for your thoughts of me.  I thank you for your recognition.

          I am Lemon.  My fruit is not quite impossible to eat.  Difficult, yes; disagreeable, perhaps.  But Loving nonetheless.

          I am Lemon.  Love is not always sweet.  Sometimes Love must take a stand--must show you the problems with your choices.  But it is Love despite the bitterness.  In fact it is at such times that Love is most loving.

          I am Lemon.  It is not so much that "you must take the bitter with the sweet."  It is more that you must learn to see the sweet within the bitter.

          I am Lemon.  When Life deals you Lemons, Life is showing you the way to Truth--Life is helping you, coaxing you, along the way you chose.

          I am Lemon.  When Life deals you Lemons, make lemonade.  When Life deals you Lemons, drink deeply of that Life and come away refreshed and renewed and full of Life.

          I am Lemon.  I am the bitter that makes remembering even sweeter.
