As we make this final toast
We shed a tear for joy
Chance did surely let us meet
Of good times we did enjoy
But as with years things do finish
For this journey is about to end
The winds of change have come again
Into a new direction our lives we do send
We’ve seen the laughter and the tears
And watched our lives change and grow
Yet we’ve always known someone cared
No matter how bad or good things did go
Of families we will always love
For they are the river of our existence
But friends are the ones we rely upon
To help us overcome issues with persistence
So as we close this special day
Our plates and glasses nearly empty
Let us remember what friendship means
And how good life can truly be
As we journey our separate ways
Maybe never to see or meet again
We give thanks for all God has given
And how great being friends has been
