You all are perfect
captured here today
for every tomorrow
The slant of light
across our eyes
casts lash shadows
I kiss each cheek
embrace you deeply
and never release
The young, fairest here
run about the rest
embroidering paths through time
The old are queued
first in, first out
will miss us each
So today raise a glass
let’s revel in light
There’s so much still remaining
