God
grant me the serenity
to
accept the things
I
cannot change
The
courage to change
the
things I can
And
the wisdom
to
know the difference
~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'd 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 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.
