Drink with Me

drink with me to days gone by,
to life, to love, to laughs.
drink with me to romance,
to lovers slipped from within our grasp.
drink with me to what might have been,
to what is now, and to what could be.
drink with me to life and health...
to many years ahead for you and me.
drink with me for loneliness,
to those nights of endless tears.
and drink with me in remembrance,
to friends lost over the years.

drink with me, my friend, I beg
raise your glass in toast
and when you tip your glass to drink,
remember your friends the most.
for life and love ebbs and flows
from one point into the next,
but it's our friends who cherish us
upon whose wings we crest.
so drink a glass or two –
raise your voices high.
then live your life to the fullest
before those days pass you by.
