From Hello To Goodbye

Life's full of phrases
And life's full of words
But few mean as much
As these two little words

Both can make a heart smile
Or leave you drowning in tears
Its what happens between them
That's not always clear

The first one is the beginning
With the last one we cry
It depends on the between
From hello to goodbye

From hello to goodbye
Can be such a short time
Like a precious child taken
Too early in life

It can hide many mysteries
Or it can all be a lie
Its what happens between them
From hello to goodbye

You can't sum it all up
With just a sentence or two
Cause the important part
Is how it concludes

Each chapter that's written
Leading up to the end
Reflects on the first line
Back to where it began

From hello to goodbye
Is the circle of life
If you ponder on it
It can make you think twice

We were all given free will
To live as we please
So make the most of it all, enjoy every fall
And shoot for your dreams

From hello to goodbye.....
