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 would be there to share your day,
I’d do everything I could
not to let this one slip away.

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
to make everything right.

Take time to tell your loved ones
all the things you wanted to say
and if tomorrow never comes,
you’ll have no regrets about today.
Rest in Peace Brother.
