To Keep My Glasses Full
by Ken HarnischI miss, but do not yearn
To ache is impermissible;
To want is indefensible;
And age has done its best
To show me to the light
I long, but only in the night
Her kiss is in my dreams;
Her embrace is in my soul;
And time has done its best
To shade my eyes in gauze
I still sing, but only to myself
My banter brings the smiles;
My pathos brings the wine;
And Life has done its best
To keep my glasses full
