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

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! :)
