HALF FILLED
You go to sleep grieving
what you do not have.
You awaken in the morning mourning
what you have lost.
It’s just a habit shaped by darkness.
Why not sculpt a new one shaped by light?
Emit joy instead of grief
into this fragile aching world.
Convey trust instead of fear.
Gratitude in place of complaint.
The same half empty glass
is a glass half filled.
Thankfulness improves one’s sight.
Go forward bravely, arms opened wide.
Celebrate the blessings of life,
as life itself
is an unearned and holy gift.
