Here's to 25 Years (and Dr. Seuss)

Could it be?

The young man thought

A quarter century's a lot!

Imagine what this new year means

Twenty-five whole years of dreams

Big ones, small ones and in betweens

And here I am, or so it seems

I am who I am and I know what I know

And I am the guy who'll decide where to go

Right now its New York, but maybe someday

I can bathe in the sun of Cal-i-forn-i-a!

Who knows what comes next on this quizzical trip

If life's like cold water I'll have one long slurping sip

Yes I'll drink it all down to the very last drop, but won't stop my sips there, no there I won't stop

Cuz when life is well lived the cup overflows

And the more that you live the more that it grows

Because love fills the cup and there is no end there

When love fills the cup it won't ever be bare

So I'll live and I'll love and I'll move and groove on

And I'll meet and I'll greet and I'll dance and sing songs

And I'll grow and I'll learn and I'll teach and I'll shine

Here's to 25 years of this grand life of mine!

(Inspired by Seuss, the first master of rhyme)
