| 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 would see you walk out 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 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't 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 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 hug, a smile, 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. |
| Alleluia. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Remember me, O Lord, when you come into your kingdom. Give rest, O Lord, to your handmaid, who has fallen asleep. The choir of saints have found the well-spring of life, and door of paradise. Life: a shadow and a dream. Weeping at the grave creates the song: Alleluia. Come, enjoy rewards and crowns I have prepared for you. |

| *The memorabilia - the legacy of her poems, the memories of loving friendship - have become hallmarks of sacred gratefulness to God for giving her, keeping her with us awhile, and then taking her to Himself so soon. The wonder of this surpasses the wonder of her birth, and even her new birth, because she is Home. Free! When we laid her body to rest, I never felt more on holy ground, never more certain of Heaven, of the Gospel, and never more aware of Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith... Death is an enemy only to those who are willfully dead to God and alive to self.* ~Paul Steinhaver on the death of his daughter~ |
