Before we say our goodbyes…………
-Anonymous

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 was the last time that I’d see you walk out of the door
I would give you a hug and a 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 videotape 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 know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day.
Well I am sure ,you’ll have so many more, So I can just let 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 right

There will always be another day to say our “I love yous”
And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can dos”

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 are 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 last wish

So hold your loved one close today,whisper in their ear
Tell them how much you love them,that you will always hold them dear

Take time to say “I am sorry, please forgive me” “Thank You” or “Its okay”
And if tomorrow never comes you ‘ll have no regrets about today.
