Slàinte
there are matters in a lifetime
that never seem to mend
like broken hearts and let-downs
or when good things have to end
so we leave the hurts behind us
move further down the road
hearts grow stronger on the way
lifted up as each we unload
life goes on–it’s all you can say
new joys arrive in every day
lives are richer for those we’ve known
and the souls touched along the way
in the end we focus on good things
no regrets shall have their due
when we recollect only sweet things
as our old lives fade from view
and if you’re at the final service
raise some whisky in your glass
celebrate your life well-lived
the critics can kiss your ass
