Half-Glassed

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed,

If you think so, then it’s true…

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.

But what of the trials? The lessons that vex?

That change your world view…

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed.

See them as challenge. You’re up for the test.

The outcome’s up to you…

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.

But what of the losses? That tighten your chest?

That make you feel so blue…

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed.

Savor the moments, know each is blessed

and love be valued, too…

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.

Existence is hard, when seen as a mess,

But puzzle you can do…

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.
