A toast!
To the souls now absent
whose grace left us brighter
To the spirits newborn
all sorrows grow lighter
To the Reaper forgiven
your sad duty divides us
To my friends unflinching
I’m better for your trust
To all who still shine
make the world that should be
And may the day come again
to raise this glass with me!
Welcome to 2017. Glad you could make it. Truly.
