Refilled.

Goldfinch60



You see them all the time,

Those people who see negatives,

Only see negatives in their lives.

Their glass is always half empty.

 

The contrast are the others,

Those who live a positive life,

And are always looking for the good.

Their glass is always half full.

 

What people never seem to realise

Is that whether the glass is half empty,

Or whether the glass is half full,

The glass can always be refilled.

          A half empty glass can only be topped up if the empty half is at the top.

          Great write Andy and so true.

            Thanks Michael.

            You only drink from the bottom of the glass when using a straw.

            Life is not like a glass in any way, but I agree that a life can be "refilled."
            A very thought provoking write, one whose last stanza says it all. Very much enjoyed it. - Phil A.
