My Cup Runneth Over

    My Cup Runneth Over

    Ever get filled to overflowing

    Like when we weep

    Except

    We’re not crying sorrow?

     

    Yet

    There is an overflow

    Welling up from the heart

    Through tear ducts

    Glazing the eyes

    Without losing a drop

     

     

    John Christopher

    1984
