A Toast

A Toast

And so, with a raise o' the glass,
And a verse o' Auld Lang Syne,
We bid another year adieu
And consider how many have passed.

For now our time is growing short,
Our years add up to many
We are not exempt from Time's court,
No, nor are any.

But in those years
Our lives have been
With laughter filled, and tears
That always dry when we meet again
My friends.

So here's the Cup O' Kindness,
Raised to hail a new year
And may the love still bind us
As it has lo, these many years!

Happy New Year my friends!
