Here is something to help put life into perspective.
IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would've tucked you in more tightly and prayed 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've given you a hug and kiss and called 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've video taped each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could've spared an extra minute 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, I'd not say,"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 just right. There will always be another day to say "I love you," And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?" 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, and 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. |

"All these were spectacles and sounds to which I often would repair, and thence would drink As at a fountain. And I do not doubt That in this later time, when storm and rain Beat on my roof at midnight, or by day When I am in the woods, unknown to me The workings of my spirit thence are brought." |
