Shall we have a toast?
To the times when we shared smiles
To the motivation that helped us cross miles
Shall we have a toast?
To your gain of better bargain
and the shock of the sad manifestation of our fears
Say cheers to all the tears,
let’s celebrate the reality this truth bears
Shall we have a toast?
To the many times I hurt but did not show
To the many secrets you thought I should not know
To the many nights I cried myself to sleep
and the days I smiled because I was too tired to weep
Shall we have a toast?
To the many mysteries life will each day unfold
To the glories tomorrow may hold
To the repercussions of yesterdays actions today
and the sweet-sour memories locked up for yet another day
Shall we have a toast?
a toast with broken glasses
symbols of our hearts once broken in the past
evidence of unhealed wounds soon to turn scars
of dreams, plans now covered with dust
Let’s have a toast shall we?
Let’s celebrate the humble fragility
of our egocentric humanity
and ladies, gentlemen, my dears;
join me take a sip after I have said
Cheers!
