A Toast

 

Today we celebrate chance but call it fate —

a story starring you and little did

you know but little bit by little bit

your maybe turned to meant to be, your waiting

 

days were over. And when you recover

from the happy shock of bringing us

together, all the finery and fuss,

remember when we celebrated love.
