— Robin Williams
Raise the carafe with care
pour forth freely
to drink deeply
this wine of friendship
aged to a vintage true
may it linger long
to sweeten your dreams
lighten your burden
warm your heart
and lift your spirit
may serenity be always yours…
salut!

I love it Rob. Vintage friendships are the very best and linger long after reconnecting!
Yes they do Dwight, and the older we get, the more precious our friends — because they are disappearing.
I can toast to that. Lovely poem.
