I toast to the sea
May fair weather she bring
For tomorrow we sail
Under daylights spell
I toast to the skies
May they stay clear and let it last
So we see the stars and find our mark
To stay on course and not get lost
I toast to the wind
May she blow a fair breeze
So the sail takes flight and vessel it move
To start our journey and keep us through
I toast to you the Lord above
To see us through and keep us well
For we need your guidance and caring hand
Now until our journeys end

I meant it as a series of toasts. After toasting the sea, drink. Then the skies, drink. And so on. Thanks for your comment though. This was my first time at writing a toast.

I like this litle piece. It reads like one of those simple Gaelic prayers. One point, the verb "toast" is transitive; one says "I toast the skies" or "I drink a toast to the skies". Thanks for sharing this.
