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 a 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 would 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.
If you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
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.
Hold your loved one 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.
Hold on to your dreams, and
never let them go
Show the
rest of the world what I already
know: how wonderful you are!
Give circumstances a chance, and
give others the benefit of the
doubt
Wish on a star that
shines in your sky
Take on your problems one by one
and work things out
Rely on all
the strength you have inside
Let
loose of the sparkle and spirit that
you sometimes try to hide
Stay in
touch with those who touch your life
with love
Look on the bright side
and don’t let adversity keep you
from winning
Be yourself, because
you are filled with special qualities
that have brought you this far, and
that will always see you through
Keep your spirits up
Make your
heart happy, and let it reflect on
everything you do!
