Survivor

Here's to those who went before

From those they left behind.

Raise a glass to those who can't.

Give them all their due.

We are all survivors of

That ancient human breed.

Revel in the fortune of

The gift they've given you.

 

Guided by ancestral myth,

A driving curiosity

So strong that every fiber seeks

To know the answers to it all.

Never truly satisfied,

Always wanting more,

Needing to know what adventure

Lies beyond the wall.

 

Lovely candle burning bright

Until your flame becomes a ghost,

Leaving other sad survivors

Raising glasses in a toast.
