The Toast


by Sarah Watroba



Raise your glasses to the sky,

With hopes and dreams held high.

To the graduates I toast . . .



Here's to the friends weve lost and gained,

And to the people we'll never know by name.

Here's to the bonds weve made and the albums we've filled,

Memories may fade, but never be killed.



Here's to the phone calls filled with tears,

And the hours spent talking away our fears.

To the people we thought deserved our hearts,

Whom now we bash and rip apart.



Here's to the pictures in frames with stories to say,

That we will be sure to pack when we go away.

To the football games we have watched beneath the lights,

And our cheers and chants drifting into the night.



Here's to proms and dances,

And high school romances.

To Homecoming games,

With all the wins in our name.



Here's to the late nights we've spent cramming for tests,

And the mornings where coffee made up for our rest.

To the dances and events we took months to create,

The night before worries that came too late.



Here's to the tears we knew we'd cry,

To the people and places we say goodbye.

To the wild and bizarre things we've done,

That we will remember to be the most fun.



Here's to the letters we left unsigned,

May our identities be revealed all in due time.

To the relationships we wonder how we ever lived without,

And the crushes we look back on and laugh about.



So now it's time to place our glasses down,

Put on our caps and turn our tassels around.

Listen for our names and let them echo through,

And realize how fast these four years just flew.




This was in Chicken Soup for the teenage soul on love and friendship.  I think it is great
