Being Positive Does You Good
Consider having a half-full glass
have a good long look at this
ponder a while taking into your mind
all that it conveys nothing amiss
Thinking this glass to be half empty
is just so negative doing no good
it breeds thoughts that utter defeat
shows what is seen you've misunderstood
But looking at this glass as half full
brings a completely different outlook
you then see it with a real confidence
nothing like you would get in a book
Having had a stammer all of my life
many times tempted to nearly give up
but being positive kept me confident
believing that I'll look on my half-full cup
Whatever challenge comes your way
being positive does you good
stick at it to really believe
so you'll be in that positive mood
(This is written on the belief that I see the glass half full most of the time, so this is written about how this way of being has helped me through life.)
