If I Knew
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 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
in 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 you would
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 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 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 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.
Send this to all that you consider a friend. Just to let them know
how much you care about them. You never know, You never know, you may
not see them tomorrow.

and to practice every day!
