Better Days

Let me propose a toast
To all those years we've penned
Good times on the west coast
Life's story had no end

We were so young and free
Such hot and crazy days
Riding onwards with glee
Life's energy ablaze

Still seasons carried on
We learned from our mistakes
With feelings come and gone
Life's losses in our wakes

My friend it's fine to think
Sometimes to reminisce
But please don't raise your drink
Without me saying this

Those years have had their run
 I'm perplexed to see how
The truth you still yet shun
That better days are now
