(Salute . . . I can’t figure out how to do the apostrophe over the ‘u’, so I hope people read the word correctly.)

We raise a glass to all our friends
Of the past and present

 

To those you knew
Within your youthful days

 

To the ones you meet
Along your winding path

 

To the pals who wandered far away
Never entering your realm again

 

To the allies stuck to you like glue
No matter where you live

 

We raise a glass to all our friends
In hopes of making more

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
