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.

WHEN YOU WERE HERE
Judy Hannah
My dearest love, how I miss your touch
Your Warm embrace always meant so much
When you were here life seemed to bloom
Now you are gone and I am all alone
Oh how I try and try to fight the gloom
When you were here, you were happy and content
Now that you are gone, I stay sad and wonder
Why did it happen, why now, I will always have
Memories of you... when you were here.

From: <NOBR>  Krblake1</NOBR> The Broken Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone For part of us went with you the day God called you home You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again. | See the goodness. Nothing that God ever ordained is bad. Therefore, although it is painful, God's goodness is nevertheless, to be found in sorrow. His goodness is given to your loved one who has gone, and to you who remain. "Love can never lose it's own." | Look for the new page...Members' Gems III |
