I love the simple word hello <br />It always rings a joyful bell <br />But one of the saddest words i know <br />Is the oft times tearful word farewell. <br /> <br />The tearful mother hugs her son <br />Write to me when you're far away <br />And i will miss you when you're gone <br />And for your safe return I'll pray. <br /> <br />The word farewell oft times bring tears <br />And I've never known it to bring joy <br />In fact the time you say farewell <br />Could also mean your last goodbye. <br /> <br />I've used the word 'farewell' before <br />And I know what it really mean <br />I said farewell to dearest friends <br />And for years those friends i have not seen. <br /> <br />The word 'hello' a word i love <br />It always rings a joyful bell <br />But one word I don't like to hear <br />And that is the sad word 'farewell'.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-word-farewell/
