No Regrets

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 theLord 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 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 that I love you,
Instead of assuming that you 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 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 all 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'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 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 ones 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 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 the time to say I'm sorry,
please forgive me, thank you, or It's ok And if tomorrow
never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
