"Good.B Bye, God Bless YOU"

It's like the Anglo-Saxon speech
With it's direct rcvealings:
It takes a hold and seems to reach
Way down into our feelings;
That some folks deem it rude. ] know.
And therefore they abuse 1t;
But I have never found 1t So
Before all else 1 choose 1t.
7 don't object hat man should air
The Calls they have paid for,
With Eau revoir,' adieu ma chere."
For that's what French was made
for;
Rut when a crony takes your hand
At parting to address you,
He drops all foreign lingo n
He says. ''good-byc. God bless you!"
This seems to me a sacred phrase.
With reverence impassionated;
A thing come down with righteous
days.
QUANTITY but nohly fashioned.
1t we'll becomes an honest face.
A voice that's round and cheerful;
II stays the sturdy in his place
And soothes the weak and fearful.
Into tho portals of the cars
It steals with subtle JUNCTION.
And in our heart of hearts appears
To work its glorious function.
And there within the portals, long
1t fingers to carcss ou;
l an1 sure no human heart goes wrong
That's told goodbye. God bless
you!"
I love the words perhaps because
When I was leaving mother.
Standing at last in solemn pause
We looked NJ onc another,
And II saw in mothers eyes
The love she could not tell me,
a love eternal as the skies,
Whatever fate hefall me:
She put her arms around my neck,
And soothed the pain of leaving,
And though her heart was like ia
break.
She spoke no word of grieving.
She let NJ tear hcdim her eye.
For fear that might distress me.
But kissing me. she s;tid ~''good-by".
And asked God to bless me.
