Glass Half Empty

She found my glass half empty.
Soon filled it to the top.
Then began to pour from it
and emptied every drop.

This one makes me THINK. Why does she take from you instead of giving or replenishing the half empty that she first found? Hmmm. Love how you are so impactful with your selective words.

The message this short poem gives, is powerful. I do hope you are okay and the one thing about an empty cup, it can be filled again! Szara

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
