God Be With You

God be with ye
Why was it changed
To GOOD B Ye
It makes me want 2 CRY e

It was not a change for the GOOD,
Can we change it back?
YES, we should.

I agree, Shirley. I still use it, but seldom hear it from anyone else. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your poetry my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Maybe it will have a 'domino effect' on such ludicrosities as 'Mother Nature,' 'Thank Goodness,' 'By Gum!' 'By Jove!' 'Gosh darn it,' etc. Get rid of all of 'em. 'Mother Nature,' for example, is usually used when the breezes blow gentle. But 'God' brings the wrath of the hurricane, the tornado, the tsunami. ~ Bah, Humbug!
