Here's to my family Here's to my friends Here's to my acquaintances On whose help I depend Here's to my mom Here's to my dad Here's to my relatives Whom I met as a lad Here's to my sisters Here's to my brothers Here's to my nanny Who cared for me like no other Here's to my daughters Here's to my sons Here's to their patience With their dad when he's wrong Here's to my mentors Here's to my teachers Here's to my coachers Who gave inspirational speeches Here's to my doctors Here's to my nurses Here's to their treatments Which insurance reimburses Here's to my supervisors Here's to my bosses Here's to my colleagues Whom I never bore crosses Here's to my wife Here's to my spouse Here's to my life's partner Who's the Queen of our House Here's to One Truth A Truth e'er to keep, pal In this crazy world People need People

This is a highly-intelligent poem; studies show that when people need people the most, they are depressed and shove people away. That's when we need to jump in, pull them out of their houses, and instill hope and fun into their lives. Well put, Mr. I. Well put!

As Barbara Streisand put it (too) many years ago: "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world."...You and she are so right! Thanks for the visit and the encouragement! :)

A nice tribute to the “people” in your life! Some say they need no one but we in truth, all need someone! Enjoyed!
