| IF I KNEW If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in tighter, 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 moment 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 things right. There will always another day to say our "I Love You's" and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's"? But just in case I might be wrong, and today's all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and 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, or hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So 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. Author Unknown This page I made in memory of Marie, Married Nov. 3, 1984 Departed Nov. 28, 1984 I kissed her that morning on the cheek to keep from waking her up from her sleep; not realizing that I was kissing her good-bye forever. No, she is not in the arms of the Lord, She is in the arms of another man. "If I had only known" Jerry |
