It’s a glass half full
It’s a light in the distance
It’s the rising sun
It’s being away from home and hearing the language you speak
And it’s a dollar you find lying on the street
It’s 8 and a half yards on a third and 9
It’s a small tug on the end of the line
It’s writing a poem and finding a rhyme
And it’s the day she said, “Yes”, she’d go out with you one more time
It’s the half an hour before the exam
It’s the gallon of gas to get home
It’s when success follows success and you know
that you can do it alone
It’s finding a flashlight that works
And driving to the beach in the rain
It’s an all-night diner
And New Year’s champagne
It’s a homemade dinner
A dog’s wagging tail
It’s a small act of kindness
in a world of fails…
