"How many friends I loved are gone!
Death delicately takes the best:
O Death, be careful of the rest!
I cannot spare another one."
~ Richard Le Gallienne
(1866-1947)

PLEASE DON'T WAIT
I would rather have one little rose
From the garden of a friend
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end.
I would rather have one pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still
And life has ceased to be.
I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed 'round my casket
When this world I bid adieu.
Blossoms bring to me today,
Whether pink or white or red;
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
(Written after she found out she was dying from cancer.)
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of
pretending
the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for
the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before
it melted in storage.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and
worried much less about the dirt
when someone wanted to light a fire in the
fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a
summer day because my hair
had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television-and more while watching life.
I would never have bought anything just because it was
practical, wouldn't show soil,
or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have
cherished every moment and realized
that the wonderment growing inside me was
the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's.".
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every
minute...look at it and really see it ....
live it and never give it back.
Stop sweating the small stuff.
Don't worry about who doesn't
like you, who has more, or who's doing what.
Instead, let's cherish the
relationships we have with those who DO love us.
Let's think about what God HAS
blessed us with.
And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally,
physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

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'd see you walk out
the door,
I would give you a hug and a kiss, and call you back for on
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'd 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, 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.
