The Cookie Thief


  A woman was waiting at an airport one night 
  with several long hours before her flight.
 
  She hunted for a book in the airport shops. 
  Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
 
  She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, 
  That the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be.
 
  Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, 
  Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. 

  So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, 
  As the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
 
  She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, 
  Thinking "If I wasn't so nice, I would blacken his eye." 
 
  With each cookie she took, he took one too, 
  When only one was left, she wondered what he would do.
 
  With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, 
  He took the last cookie and broke it in half. 

  He offered her half, as he ate the other, 
  She snatched it from him and thought...ooooh, brother.
 
  This guy has some nerve and he's also rude 
  Why he didn't even show any gratitude! 
 
  She had never known when she had been so galled, 
  and signed with relief when her flight was called. 

  She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, 
  Refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate. 
 
  She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, 
  Then she sought her book, which was almost complete,
 
  As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise, 
  There was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. 
 
  If mine are here, she moaned in despair, 
  The others were his, and he tried to share,
 
  Too late to apologize, she realized with grief 
  That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief. 
 
  How many times in our lives, 
  have we absolutely known, 
  that something was a certain way, 
  only to be wrong... 
 

   If I knew it would be the last time
   I would be there to share your day,
   well I'm sure you'll have so many more
   so I can let just this one slip away.

   For surely there's always tomorrow
   to make up for an oversight,
   and we always get a second chance
   to make everything right.

   There will always be another day
   to say our," I love you's,"
   And certainly there's another chance
   to say our. " Anything I can do's?"

   But just in case I might be wrong,
   and today is all I get,
   I'd like to say how much I love you
   and I hope we never forget.

   Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
   young or old alike,
   And today may be the last chance
   you get to hold your loved one tight.

   So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
   why not do it today?
   For if tomorrow never comes,
   you'll surely regret the day,

   That you didn't take that extra time
   for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
   and you were too busy to grant someone,
   what turned out to be their one last wish.

   So always hold them dear.
   Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive me,
   Thank you, or It's okay.
   And if tomorrow never comes,
   you'll have no regrets about today.
