A toast

There is more than one way to live a life (a toast) Sometimes life turns its back on you. You’re feeling all betrayed and blue, revengeful, bitter, lost. Your futile anger makes you blind. Consumed by pride, you're in a bind to win at any cost. You cry yourself to blissful sleep, still hoping you somehow can keep your life just as it was, while you refuse to take a stance, to give yourself another chance, to find another cause. Why be afraid, my dear old friend? Life’s way too hard to comprehend and is too short to wait. You’ve not failed if you start anew. Find in your heart what’s true to you and make it your own fate. And so, my friend, let’s drink to life, To laughs and tears, love and strife, To absurd and bizarre! To new beginnings, crazy dreams, The world that isn’t what it seems, Your journey to the stars!
