This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all
those who perished that morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air
and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the
firefighters and policemen, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers
go out to the friends and families of the
deceased.
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 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 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.
