You Pick How tall is the one whose glass is half-full;
How small is the one whose glass is a near-empty pool.
How sunny is the one who sees the bright side of things;
How gloomy is the one whose heart to clouds clings.
One smile, a snapshot of glee shared with a stranger;
One frown, a beast growling with anger.
A choice to be made:
For joy - will you be an open door
Or barricade?
