`I recieved this in my email from a friend.
It affected me so I had to put this on my site to share with friends and those that I love.....

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 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 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 right.

......There will always be another day to say our "I love you's," 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 the 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, 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.
