TO SAY “HELLO” IS TO SAY “GOOD-BYE”

To say “hello” is to say “good-bye,”
For that’s the orderly way in which things are;
Faces appear in winter to be lost in spring,
Doors open to be closed,
The sun rises and sets,
Babies come and old folks die,
And all people must laugh and cry;

Night naturally follows day,
As moon the sun;
Boredom steals from life’s excitement,
As hatred from love’s promise;

Say “hello” with enjoyment, excitement,
And appreciation;
Say “good-bye” without anger, grief, or sorrow;

To say “hello” is to say “good-bye,”
Remember, that’s just the way things are.

LIVE LONG, LIVE WELL

There are many rules to the good life,
     Among them is avoiding danger and strife;
Also, it’s more than wise,
     To maintain regular exercise;
Swim, or run, or walk each week,
     While watching daily how much you eat;
Lower your diet in salt and fat,
     And drink healthy liquids to keep your
     Inside wet;
Sing, dance, laugh, and enjoy good play,
     But work, rest, and relax each day;
Live long, live well,
     Minimize your hurry and stress;
Live long, live well,
     Keep your body at its best.
