Forget Me Not
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 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,
that 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 OK."
And if tomorrow
never comes,
you'll have no regrets
about today.

Hugs to You Always!
