The Toast

What could have been 
hurts the most
to lost opportunities
I propose a toast

All the love and riches
that slipped right on by
to memories that will never be
let's raise our glasses high

Now foolish souls lets us  drink
swallow hardy all our pride
to lost opportunities
and the pain we forever hide
