I first came across this when I was in school. This is beautiful, and so very true. We should always take time to tell our loved ones what they mean to us, so that you have no regrets tommorow.
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 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
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 just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"
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,
and 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.

Dear Anonymous,
I read you comment, but could not comprehend it, coz no incidences had been cited, nor were you gutsy enough to put your name there. Chill, pal! I won't harm you.... that's your job... remember?! you mentioned in your comment something about my crossing limits, why don't you mail me and elaborate on the topic. Are you too afraid of disclosing your identity? You adviced me to act so that people start loving me again... Exactly where did i mention a lack of love in my life dude? If you read the blog carefully, u must have also read that i don't have grudges... so, PAL, throw the guilt pang in your heart away, i havent any problems with you. I didn't refer to any particular person, so why are u getting worried sweetheart?! Guilt isn't too good a thing. In your next comment, build up enough courage to write your name, or simply mail me, so that both of us can have a better understanding of the paradigms that we hold. Adios! Hope to hear from you soon!!! :)
