Here's To

Here's to all my friends,
The new and the old,
The far and the near,
To all in whom I hold dear.

Here's to the love,
We could not live without,
We share with each other,
Give to one another.

Here's to the times,
That make us laugh,
Sometimes make us cry,
Even at times, make us wonder why.

Here's to the make ups,
For all the pain love causes,
For all the times we were wrong,
That helped us find the right song.

Here's to the words,
That were given as advice,
That helped us through,
In which we all grew.

Here's to all my friends,
The ones I could not live without,
Who helped me open up my heart,
Encourged my brand new start.
