A hand caught mine. .. I paid no mind. The stranger never once did say Just what had brought him on my way. On he went, and some afraid. I wished I hadn't come, but stayed. All the friends that I once knew Took a road named Goodbye, too. There were no two roads just the same Though all were called Goodbye by name. The road went on; we went on too. And I was sad, for then I knew That never could I be the same Having walked down Goodbye Lane. And although I couldn't understand We walked together hand in hand. We said no words, but just walked on, I thought of things now past and gone. I thought of games I'd lost and won, I thought of all the things I’d done, I thought of those I loved and cared, Of times we'd had, of things we’d shared. I thought of those I'd come to know, Just knowing them-they’d helped me so. I thought of things, of tears I'd shed... Those same things now brought smiles instead. The tasks I'd done, those left to do, I wondered how I'd make it through When something inside seems to say, “The best you can from day to day.” The way was tough; I knew the score, It never ends...there's always more. But now I know that all in all Each thing in its own place will fall. I thought of all the happy days, The sad ones now just seemed a haze, And in a flash I came to see How much the past had meant to me. We walked along-I wondered where The future led and what was there. The past still echoed from behind I was its, and it was mine. But in my heart was still a fear. And in my eye a shining tear; Yet on my face there was a smile. And we walked forward all the while. I walked along the road Goodbye. I looked back once...I heaved a sigh. Then I remembered at my side- My silent, but my constant guide. The stranger’s hand I felt in mine. I looked into his face this time. I asked his name-he turned just so. He smiled and said, “I'm called Hello.” KITCHENS GROCERY KOZY KORNER KAFE WEYERHAEUSER CO. GILBERT'S HARDWARE Dierks, Arkansas Dierks, Arkansas Dierks, Arkansas Dierks, Arkansas
