Lauren Slemenda's Poetry

Overflowing

Your glass may be half empty
Or maybe half full
But my glass isn't either
'Cuz I don't play by the rules
My glass is overflowing
All the time
And the secret to staying full
Is to keep this in mind:
Whatever may come
Whoever may go
You have to remember
You have to know
That you're strong and God's there
He'll carry you through
When the going gets tough
He'll stick by you
His love doesn't fail
And he'll refill your glass
And the last will be first
And the first will be last
My glass is overflowing
So I'm giving some to you
Then maybe you can
Be overflowing too
Why argue half empty or full?
Why bother to choose?
My glass is overflowing
What about you?
