Greet…

Good morning

Good night

Good day

Goodbye

Happy go lucky

Happy ever after…….

What a disaster we think we can master

Affairs of the heart

Before the day starts

With a sentence beginning with ‘good’

When such an expression can leave an impression, misguided or misunderstood

No matter the greetings

They merely are fleeting

Neither happy nor good nor true

But still we insist that to greet one like this

Is the right and polite thing to do

When morning has broken

And sadness has spoken 

At leaving the night  all alone

It can feel quite lonely

Cos the night could be the only true comfort the morning had known

Goodbye’s can be painful 

And even disdainful 

The parting can be such a wrench

So the ‘good’ needs some context 

Cos it can be quite complex 

Thus,  maybe it’s time to reflect…..
