William Shakespeare

hello

'Hello' sayeth I, as I approacheth this wondrous day, for what a grand greeting it be! As I looketh around, I see the sun brightly shining down, and my heart is filled with joy. All of the birds singing, and all of the people smiling, 'tis a truly glorious sight. But I do not take this moment for granted, for it may not last forever. I know that the sun will soon set, and the birds will soon be silent. So I shall take this moment and savor it, for it is a gift that I must cherish. Alas, I must say goodbye to this day, but I shall not forget this moment. When I see the sun again, I shall remember that 'hello' was the first word I spoke. For 'tis a magical thing, this greeting, and it shall stay with me for all eternity. So I shall say 'hello' to all whom I meet, for 'tis a simple way to bring a little bit of joy into the world. 'Tis a small gesture, but it can make the world a brighter place. So here I stand, greeting each and every day with a 'hello'. For I know that it can make a difference. Aye, 'tis a good thing to say, so let us all take a moment and say 'hello' to one another. For 'tis a grand thing indeed.
