Hello

The dulcet sound of her hello Brings me back from distant thought And soon I'd come to know The melody her voice had brought After a while friendship bloomed And soon a song was in my heart It wasn't long ere passion loomed With sweet kisses to impart We danced in spring like butterflies And felt the caress of summer's breeze, Yet falling leaves brought wistful sighs Then snowflakes fell on the trees But without rain no flowers grow There's no hello without goodbye And soon the music ceased to flow, And in distant thought, I drift on by 1-15-17 Hello Contest:» Sponsor:» Silent One

"But without rain no flowers grow" I completely agree. Sometimes, a moment will bloom into more- while other times. Without Tender Loving Care, it fades away. Your thoughts are beautiful and sad at the same time. Congratulations Joseph, on this win. ~ Brandy

I like your take on the 'hello' prompt, Joseph. Hello can lead to both fun and love, but, alas, some things are not meant to last! Regards // paul

A hello is always welcome but sadly sometimes there is a goodbye. Good luck. Tom.

How sad that there has to be a goodbye ye sooner or later in our lives. I think I prefer the hellos over the goodbye don't you ? Nicely done dear Joseph. Winning wishes xo
