Raise A Glass

In Miami, a son received a frightful call

His father announced his marriage's downfall

Forty-five years of togetherness had been enough

It seems they were about to call it quite rough

 

The son, panicked, reached out to his sister

She, with a fiery spirit, couldn't resist her

"No way are they separating!" she declared with a shout

Their parents' love, she'd figured out

 

Calling their father, she held nothing back

"No divorce! We'll be there in a flash

To talk this out, we'll fix this mess

So don't do a thing, no need for more stress!"

 

The old man, now faced with his children's might

Turned to his wife, shaken but holding tight

"They'll be here for Christmas," he said quite bold

"And it looks like they'll be footing their own airfare fold"

 

So with the holiday approaching in sight

Their children's antics had turned the tide

The old man and his wife looked at each other with a grin

For family coming together was a sure win

 

So let's raise a glass to their love so fine

And the comical drama that just had to unwind

For in the end, their love will surely prevail

And this chaotic tale will become a humorous tale. ("Raise a Glass") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
