A toast to you, sir: I wish you safety, good health, lasting happiness and love throughout life!
Safe:
free from hurt, injury, danger, or risk: to arrive safe and sound.
Bombs fall, like rain, like autumn's flowers,
grey this time, black perhaps; it's frightening.
Healthy:
possessing or enjoying good health or a sound and vigorous mentality: a healthy body/mind.
Disease spreads like a snake's venom when
its fangs pierce the living flesh of those unsuspecting,
often unhealed.
Happy:
characterized by or indicative of pleasure, contentment, or joy: a happy mood/mind.
A frown spreads in misfortune, luck flies
like a crow, promises break and tears are wept for the dead
or for the unchanging hurtful sequence of events;
a belief of no escape.
Loved:
held in deep affection; cherished: loved companions; much-loved friends.
Falsity tears truth, bloody reds stain cheeks
and chests; the remaining color fades
as loneliness takes place of the heart
like a heavy ink seeping into parchment, leaking,
slowly draining joy into utter emptiness.
I say to you, sir: Your intentions are kind, but that's the reality of it.
