A Toast

Here’s to never, forever and now

Ash and emblazoned tales

Here’s to all these times allow

Feats and when we fail

Here’s to there and theirs to hear

Salute life’s lust for breath

Here’s to blood, heart soul and tear

Birth, life, rest and death

Here’s to last year’s language

Set in stone beneath our feet

Here’s to cumbersome baggage

Left as refuse on the street

Here’s to an abundance of critical thought

The pass of intolerance and hate

Here's to the transition of battles fought

From bloodshed to debate

Here’s to our correspondences

Our altruist tendency

Let’s celebrate our differences

While setting ourselves free

Here’s to age’s wisdom new

To heirs our home, this host

Here’s to you and here’s to me

Proposed is my toast
