3 GUYS LEMONADE

how many weeks?

how many fridays and saturdays

did i hear the constant

"please mom please

will you take us to the store so we can get

stuff for a LEMONADE STAND?"

why didn't that sound appealing?

maybe because it seemed like a bit of extra work on my end,

and an extra wad of cash,

for little or no return

and an extra 30

  extra sticky fingerprints around the house

today, i had a bit of sunshine in my soul

from a miracle that transpired earlier in the week

noah, jaxson, and alex

joined me in a ride to walmart

cups,

napkins,

LEMONADE,

LEMONS,

LEMON jolly ranchers

ice,

pour free container

and brightly colored popsicles.

while the gents set up the stand,

i painted a sign

"3 GUYS LEMONADE"

when i stepped out the door

i could hear their chants,

"LEMONADE for sale...

come get some LEMONADE."

i saw the sign dance in noah's hands

with music playing on the ipod  

my heart leapt for joy

 i thought

why didn't i do this sooner?
