Toast to the guinea pigs
for extinguishing my fear of being alone
Toast to the moon
for being the substitute of street lamps
Toast to the car parked on the driveway
for indicating the presence of my family
Toast to the guitars
for remembering the way they tune
Toast to the fridge in the kitchen
for keeping our food fresh
Toast to the walls of the house
for absorbing the noises I rather not hear
Toast to the paintings
for reminding me of what I’m artistically capable of
Toast to the bed in the room
for keeping my body comfortable at night
Toast to the lights
for providing my room personality
Toast to the tapestries hanging on the ceiling
for maintaining my privacy
Toast to the dreamcatchers
for giving me hope of a good night's dream
Toast to the pictures on the wall
for reminding me of who I am with people I love
