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 to God, 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 or two to stop and say I love you, instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
But my thoughts are always surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our I love you's,
And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong, for tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, and today may be the last chance I get... Just in case,
Do know my tonight will be spent with prayers and thoughts... for You.
No, this is not a sappy day.
Someone emailed me this, and it got me thinking what I'd do if there was no tomorrow.
And I had my answer, without even thinking too hard.
Because I've already thought of it before.
