A Toast

poem by: Michael Wise
Written on Apr 25, 2018

Here's a toast to your good health
 and to multiply your wealth
 May God's blessings overwhelm you with delight

 Tell your worries and your debts
 and those lingering regrets
 to go take a running jump and fly a kite

 May your joys outweigh your tears
 all throughout the coming years
 too much dreariness is such a bloody farce

 May the things you're seeking after
 fill your days and nights with laughter
 and prosperity come bite you in the arse

 May your friends be true and blue
 and be always there for you
 Let there be so many that you cannot count

 May you age with style and grace
 with no wrinkles on your face
 just like you've been drinking from that youthful fount

 May you find yourself a' falling
 when your true love comes a' calling
 and your lives together be a dream come true

 So, you'll need a bigger bed
 for the night that you are wed
 safely snuggled with your true love next to you

Definitely positive and kind in expression. It's enough to let a depressant change his ways.
