Beautiful Lasting Thoughts

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'd see you walk out of the door, I
would hug you and kiss you and call you
back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I
heard your name lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and
word, so I could play it back for days.

If I knew it would be the last time to
spare an extra minute or two, I'd
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.
Well, I'm sure you'll have many more,
So, I'll let this one slip away.
For surely there is tomorrow to make up
for an oversight, and we'll always get a
second chance to make everything all
right. There will be another chance 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 hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike, and today
might be your last chance to hold your
loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why
not do it all today? For if tomorrow
never comes, You will surely regret
the day, that you didn't take the extra
time for a smile or hug or kiss.
And your surely too busy to grant
someone, what turned out to be their last
wish.

So hold your loved ones close today and
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.
Apologize and start anew and tell the
one who loves you, that you love
them too!

AHHHHH . . . This one nearly made me cry
Nancy
