Most of You Have Read This...
sometime over the past 4 years...but I recieved it once again and thought I would post it because every word is so true!
It's so easy to take what we have each day for granted..I know i can get wrapped up in everything I have to do and then something in my life reminds me to take a breath...
Time with my husband reminded me of that yesturday &
My workout today did that for me as well...
"This has not been broken since 9/11/01, please keep it going...
This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11.
In memory of all those who perished this morning;
the passengers and the pilots on the United Air and AA flights,
the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,
and all the innocent bystanders.
Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the deceased.
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 minuteto 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.
Enjoy the weekend everyone! I have ben busy planning for mine...
I will tell you all about it on Sunday:))
