  Subject: [RecipesAndMore] If I knew


  This was sent to me by a very dear friend in a moment of need. I hope it will 
be a blessing to you all, as it was for me.

  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 '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.
