A Toast

For those of you who've had more than your share
Of Life's wrath, I raise my glass of false cheer!
Join me in a toast to Fate, if you dare,
But don't appease it by shedding a tear
Though Life chose to look on us with disdain,
Don't let its wicked pranks obscure your mind;
Each morning a new sun rises again -
Another chance to leave your woes behind
Always keep in mind Fate may smile on you
And on your shoulders lay its golden shroud;
But be prepared, should all this prove untrue,
And the dawn offers nothing but a cloud
We who have nothing, not even Love's touch,
Crippled, we're left to limp toward the abyss
Without being thrown a lifeline to clutch -
Then comes Death to render much less than this
You who have never found favor with Fate
In this jungle of misery and rue,
It is your misfortune I celebrate,
For your failure has been my failing, too;
But rest assured, all suffering will abate
When in Death's embrace we bid Life adieu!
