I am a glass,
important in your life;
I hold selected drinks
to quench your thirst.
At your side-
in both good times and strife-
upon your list of needs,
I am the first.

But also,
I can be your measurement;
one day, a month,
a year or many years.
Interpretation of which
is oft bent
to whether
I hold joyous smiles or tears.

You see, I can be looked at
in two ways-
just one becomes the answer
to the test.
Half empty or half full-
I hold your days.
It's up to you to know
which choice is best.
