A TOAST TO RAB

by James Wheatley
(Sudbury Suffolk)

First raise a glass
To all our friends
An' them as we count dear.

Then raise a glass
To those we know
An' them as we no fear.

Next raise a glass
Ta all we hate
And pray that they find cheer.

Last raise a glass
To them now past
An' wish that they were near.
