The Glass

Is this crystal glass of life empty?
Can we fill it with love of plenty?
Is this glass half full in us?
We accept that it is and is blessed.
But, wait, this glass is half empty.
We can add more of life’s divinity.
Those who see it half empty, it will be filled.
They fill it with love that will overflow and spill.
Surely, do not accept a half empty glass.
When more of life and love can be added, that will last.
