Two Short Days Gone Quickly By

Here’s to lights out, to pens down, 
To checking out.

Here's to Friday.

To the first pat on a back, kiss of a cheek
And clink of a glass.

To bars, beaches, basements, the corner shop,
And dining at dawn with a pocketful of change.
 
Here’s to letting clothes lie where clothes fall.
  
Here’s to rising when the sun does, 
and sleeping till it sets.

To the coffee thirsty, the work hungry 
and hashtag no filter.

Here’s to an adventure on the horizon,
And feet resting on a dashboard.
  
Here’s to life, to love, to laughter,
To friends made and friends lost.
Here’s to two short days gone quickly by.

Here's to the weekend.
