If I knew….

……………….IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES……………….

If tomorrow never comes…

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,

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.

Send this to all that you consider a friend.

Just to let them know

how much you care about them.

You never know, you may not see them tomorrow.

So let them know how much you care about them today.

SIDE NOTE

I had planned on posting this entry for quite some time, but I have been working on another entry about one of my patients. So this entry was on the back burner. I decided to post this entry today because of what happened to BB he is so lucky to be alive. He was driving his truck (he has a really BIG truck which is lifted up high)to work this morning on Highway 16 when all of a sudden his tire came off his truck and started rolling down the highway. He was driving about 60 miles an hour in rush hour traffic. I’m so thankful that nobody was killed or hurt. BB and I have always made a practice of kissing each other goodby and saying I love you. It is a rule never to leave each other without doing this. I tell him everyday that it may be the last time that we see each other–so lets do it right. This morning I was blow drying my hair upside down when BB came into the bathroom to kiss me upside down. It could have been my last kiss.
