Are you afraid of being kind? Are you scared of being honest? Are you putting off telling your loved ones that you care, "till his birthday" or "till work slows down"?
Maybe you're too proud.Maybe you're taking your time because there's always tomorrow.
That's the way I was,
Until someone reminded me of this poem yesterday, the one that was all over the internet right after the 9.11 attack.
5 years from then, is the world changing for the positive? Are we living the each day to the fullest? Are we not waiting to tell your loved ones that you love them?
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 for one more.
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 one 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, And whisper in their ear, That you love them very much and You'll always hold them dear.*********************************
