CHEERS

Cheers to a voyage HALF-SAILED
Some condemned and RAILED
Yet our prayers into the wee small hours PREVAILED

Cheers to a broad smile WELL-DESERVED
Our unending praises and thanksgiving never to be RESERVED
And bitter lessons forever PRESERVED

Cheers to family and friends who were not OBSCURED
For within your immense love, we were SECURED
And with your firm support, the broken hearts were CURED

Cheers to the full-blown testimony we still HOPE
Afraid and doubtful? NOPE!
Cos HE is with us rushing adown the steep SLOPE
