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…
