POEM

If I knew it would be the last time

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.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance to make everything right.

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.

So if i'm waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, I'll surely regret the day that I didn't
take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss.
So take the time to say, "I'm sorry", "please forgive me","thank you"
or "it's okay".

And if tomorrow never comes, I'll have no regrets today.
