If only I knew

      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 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 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 that 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.
     
     
     
     

Today is a gift

Moving Thoughts
   The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
  Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Happy Father's Day
   A young father-to-be was pacing back and forth, wringing his hands in the hospital corridor while his wife was in labor. He was tied up in knots of fear and anxiety, and beads of perspiration dropping from his brow revealed the agony of his suffering. Finally, at 4 a.m. a nurse popped out of a door and said, "Well, sir, you have a little girl" He dropped his hands, became limp, and said, "Oh, how I thank God it's a girl. She'll never have to go through the awful agony I've had tonight".
