A Scottish Hogmanay Toast
Wi' a drop in the bottle an' a cronie or twa
We'll no' gie a thocht tae the year that's awa,
Wi' stories an' sangs a' brithers we'll be
Wi' a smile on wir faces an a licht in wir e'e.
We'll think o' wir freens far awa ower the sea
An' we'll drink to their health, tho' its maybe wi' tea.
But tae Seafaring fowk that's awa' an' are here,
I wish a' the best an' a Happy New Year.

Re-iterate:
I can only thank you again for these words: They just seem so appropriate, tonight of all nights, tomorrow they will be gone, a bit like the many. Hence my repetition. Have copied and saved for future New Years and indeed remembrance: Thank You So Much. K.
