Subject: IF I KNEW!!
This poem was in my Mom's E MAIL, and I thought it is worth sharing here! It is quite sad, so keep those tissues handy! It was written Sept. 11, 2001!
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 is 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 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 ones tight.
So, if you are waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret this 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", or "it's okay",
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today!
Peace,Vivian

You should have that poem framed and mounted in your room (or your mom should mount it in hers). That way, it will always be near you at troubled times. :'(
