A Toast

By looking back it’s rather hard to tell, Whether I had lived or lived through Hell. What counts is - I joyfully survived Life’s bumpy, dangling, and perilous ride. And now at peace, I dare to reminisce On every curve of fate I didn’t miss. Filled up with joy and woe I raise my grail To high spirits that conquer and prevail. July 4, 2021

And in sampling the wines of life there are the bitter among the sweet sips. Nicely done Margarita

You are a survivor my northern friend, and I’m glad you are, otherwise I would never have known you. Hope all is well in your world, Maggie. Hugs, John
