My Toast

 

In the company of mates and lassies

Whom I have loved more than life itself,

With a hardy measure of Uisga Beatha

Near at hand,

I ask no more than to indulge my fancies 

One more time

For the sake of all that has passed

And all that is to come.

Those things are worthy of praise

Now,more precious than before.

And all I ever loved

That surrounds me here,

I thank you.
