Saying Hello, Saying Goodbye

Posted by: EarlB, 1:25 AM GMT on August 26, 2010

Birth
Is the first hello.
Then comes a string of friends,
Lovers, and people unknown
Parading through
Defining a lifetime with greetings.

Hello
is but a prelude,
Just a set-up
For goodbye.
Life (in the end)
Is more loss
Than gain,
As all of the hellos melt away
To one final goodbye.

Life more loss than gain? Hope that's more poetry than conviction. In any event, bringing a few friends over to say "hello"... Member Since: October 4, 2004 Posts: 196 Comments: 14842

hi sa, my viewpoint is that as i get older, i am spending more time saying goodbye than hello. i believe that it's a 1 hello per 1 goodbye sum game, but that i'm now catching up on the 1:1 ratio (i was more "hello-ed" when younger). now it seems like the goodbyes are winning!
