A Simple Hello

If just a hello is all you can say To brighten what might be someone’s bad day, Then that’s what you do. You say a hello. And give what you can that all men might grow. If one little smile is all you can give, To make one life a bit better to live, What else can you do but give them a smile, When such a small thing might comfort awhile? All you might meet in one typical day… All of those people you might pass on by… All you might touch as you walk on your way… Do they think of you? Do they wonder why? A simple hello. The least you can do. It might one day make its way back to you.

Stephen: I loved your poem. It reminded me of a poem I recently finished also titled "Hello." It speaks to those who pass me by. I may post it later today. Hello is such a powerful word...
