why so sour?

by @brandi-clark

When life hands me lemons I take them to the street Put them in box With a sign "Out of sugar so these are free" They go rather quickly Everyone taking what they can and i really dont mind To lend a helping hand And ive been doing it for years With a smile on my face But ive always wondered Will there ever be a change of pace? Cause although i do not mind Helping those in need In the back of my mind i always hoped Someone would bring some sugar for me But oh, dont get me wrong Im really not that naive If i wanted i could charge a buck or two For these delicious treats I could take myself to the store Buy all the sugar i need But im really not that thirsty Im just starving For kindness in humanity
