Poem: "Here's to life" - song by Shirley Horn

Here’s to life

<<
No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams
And placing bets
But I have learnt that all you give
Is all you get
So give it all you’ve got.

I had my share, I drank my fill
And even though I’m satisfied, I’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond the hill
And do it all again

So here’s to life
And every joy it brings
So here’s to life
To dreamers and their dreams

It’s funny how the time just flies
How a love can go from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you the memories you’ve memorised
To keep your winters warm

For there’s no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away
as long as I am still in the game
I want to play, for laughs, for life, for love

So here’s to life
And every joy it brings
So here’s to life
To dreamers and their dreams

May all your storms be weathered
And all that’s good get better
Here’s to life,

here’s to love,

here’s to you
