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.)

Thanks Tom, Glad you enjoyed it and indeed so much better to be positive about life. We're just back from a week in the Scottish borders so it'll be a quiet relaxing time, Gordon

This is wonderful! My daughter showed me a small box yesterday, she's saving change. She smiled, and shook the box declaring "It's nearly half full!" That sweet adorable attitude simply lifted my heart. <3 You have such a way with words Gordon. Moses had a stutter too, and God used his words powerfully. God uses your words powerfully too, and I can't tell you how much this poem, as well as my daughter's joyful attitude lifts my heart! I am faving your poem. I love it!
