To My Mother, Kitty Sursely

IF�
By: Author Unknown


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.

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 ours "Anything I can do's?".

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 that tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old
alike.  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 were to busy to grant someone
what turned out to be their last wish.

So, hold your 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 the 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.

I LOVE YOU, MAMA!

I MISS YOU!

I WILL SEE YOU SOON!
