I toast for everyday well spent
When one is conscientious of every
Moment, and time seems to stand still
That is living, even when applied to the
Mundane, there is joy in small things

I toast to kindred souls I´ve found
Along my path, exempting bad elements
For the blessings in my life and to know
That there is a plan, and I am a piece in
The jigsaw, and in the scheme of life

I toast for the gifts I´ve been bestowed
For the opportunities encountered
For the loves, even those lost
For the small pleasures in life
Be it simply a spectacular sunrise

I toast when breaking fast with good
Friends. For the unconditional moral
Support of my family
For being safe in my travels
And for defeating my adversaries

.
I toast to beauty in all its forms
In a sublime piece of art or song
In a sentence that makes one reflect
In the beauty in a smile of a good soul
For unforgetable moments engraved in the heart

.

I toast to living a long prosperous life
For my triumphs and defeats for those
Tested my mettle and courage and helped
Me better appreciate sweet victory
I toast to simply being given life
.
Salud!
