I keep pouring their glasses at my party of life
Keeping my guests, full and plenty
Entertaining, accommodating, all seems fine
Turn around,
I see my glass is still empty
Staying focused on happiness, that my guests
Need for naught,
I turn to my glass,
Yet again, Iβve forgot
Me, myself and again
I,
Have forgotten ourselves, as the time
Slipped on by
The party roars on, the energy firm,
My guests hold on to the night
Somehow Iβve tired and try to move on
My glass, now nowhere in sight
Is your glass half full,
Or do you see it half empty
A question we hear all the time
While hosting my life
And busy with them,
Can please someone
Pour me a wine?
…Moral of the Poem? Check your glass because it’s your life too. Have a beautiful week, my Dear Hosts and Hostesses!
It does get tricky doesn’t it – this thing we have of trying to keep everyone in our lives happy and content, often forgetting ourselves in the happiness of others. When – if we remember to pamper ourselves a bit, a little ‘self-happiness and contentment’ goes a long way π
Gorgeous words as always, let’s pour the wine and sip to our joy too…

The irony! I just read this poem with 3 glasses of wine in my system, but the words couldn’t be anymore true than how you’ve portrayed them madame. π
