If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I
would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I get to see you walk out
the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one
more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up to
praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute
or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming that you KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your
day, instead of thinking, "Oh, well, I'm sure we'll have so many
more, so I can let 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 all right. There
will always be another day to say " I love you," and certainly
there's always another chance.
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 hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is never 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 kiss, and you were too busy to
grant someone, what turned out to be their last wish.
So, hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear. Tell
them how much you love them, and that you'll always hold them dear.
Take the time to say " I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you,"
or "it's ok." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets
about today.
