0) A Toast To Our Tears (Poetry / Duet) Poem by Otradom Pelogo

Maggie
The fire that started the evening off seemed to
have been cooled with understanding and good advice

Quest
It's wonderful how things like a pleasant
conversation can make a fire seem nice

Maggie
Maybe we'll enjoy the rest of the evening
and handle the world's crisis tomorrow

Quest
And by morning our passion and understanding
will have placed the confusion and sorrow

Maggie
Just for today we'll give our troubles a
toast instead of throes and tears

Quest
For without them, what we already
have would have taken many years

Maggie
And discretely make this fantastic
day a part of our world and life

Quest
By discretely securing it with the
vows made by a husband and wife

Maggie
It seems life has already given us
our goals to try and conquer

Quest
One that's like a child that we must
always watch and nurture

Maggie
Then we must remember how it was to be
in love yesterday although we called it being a team

Quest
To take our ghosts and treat them like children
and teach them how it feels to dream

Maggie
And teach them the secrets of the wonders of life, the
passions of love and enlightenment

Quest
To show them how to cry, and laugh, to respect the rules
of danger, and enjoy moments of excitement

Maggie
Just for today we'll give our troubles a toast instead
of throes and tears

Quest
For without them, what we already have would
have taken many years.
