If I Knew<BR>If I knew it would be the last time<BR>that I’d see you fall asleep,<BR>I would tuck you in more tightly<BR>and pray the Lord, your soul to keep,<BR>If I knew it would be the last time<BR>that I see you walk out the door,<BR>I would give you a hug and kiss<BR>and call you back for one more.<P>If I knew it would be the last time<BR>I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise,<BR>I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.<BR>If I knew it would be the last time,<BR>I could spare an extra minute<BR>or two to stop and say “I love you,<BR>“instead of assuming,you would KNOW I do.<P>If I knew it would be the last time<BR>I would be there to share your day,<BR>Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.<BR>For surely there’s always tomorrow<BR>to make up for an oversight,<BR>and we always get a second chance<BR>to make everything right.<P>There will always be another day<BR>to say our “I love you’s”,<BR>And certainly there’s another chance<BR>to say our “Anything I can do’s?”<BR>But just in case I might be wrong,<BR>and today is all I get,<BR>I’d like to say how much I love you<BR>and I hope we never forget,<BR>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..<BR>So if you’re waiting for tomorrow,<BR>why not do it today?<BR>For if tomorrow never comes,<BR>you’ll surely regret the day,<BR>That you didn’t take that extra time<BR>for a smile, a hug, or a kiss<BR>And you were too busy to grant someone, that turned out to be their one last wish.<BR>So hold your loved ones close today,<BR>whisper in their ear,<BR>Tell them how much you love them<BR>and that you’ll always hold them dear,<BR>Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “please forgive me,” “thank you” or “it’s okay.”<BR>And if tomorrow never comes,you’ll have no regrets about today.<BR>

A friend passed this on to me. I hand wrote it on some nice paper and had it framed for my wife. It brought her to tears. There is a lot of truth there.<BR>
