Here's

Here’s to everyone and everything,

Here’s to the odds and what we don’t know.
Here’s to the pain and letting go

Here’s to all cancer patients,
who fought the battle till the end.

Here’s to the soul,
For being strong enough to stay in.

Here’s to the friends,
for always being there.

Here’s to the kind strangers,
who gave us another reason to hold on.

Here’s to the music,
For being there when no one was.

Here’s to the tears,
For making it a little better.

Here’s to the books,
for the journeys they took us at.

Here’s to the smiles,
For the unexpected dose of hope.

Here’s to our flaws and insecurities
for making us more humble.

Here’s to the dead,
for not making it to this moment.

Here’s to all what I have mentioned above,
and all what I haven’t.

Here’s to You,
That person who’s the reason I write this.
