IN CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Drink…dance…live,
Drink…with the thump of joy,
Drink…through the sirens of the night,
Drink…in the hour of despair,
Drink…at times of adieu,
Drink…for the vagaries of the seasons,
Drink…from the pot of love,
Drink…from the deadly pangs,
Drink…from the crust of the sky,
Drink…to the shudders of earth,
Drink…to the life of friends,
Drink…to the rhythm of the oars,
Drink…to the tribal jamboree,
Drink…when everything else is lost,
Drink…when all else is gained,
Drink…when bound by a promise,
Drink…to the last drop,
Drink…to the last glorious drop.
