The Poem
Written by her Children

If I knew it would
be the last time
That I'd see
you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in
tight 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 or two
to stop
and say 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 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,
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 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.

One gift, above all others
God Gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one Gold cannot measure.

The precious, poignant, tender gift
Of Memory---that will keep
Our dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep.

It brings back long remembered
things
A song, a word, a smile
And our world's a better place
---because
We had them for a while!
Gosh My Precious Friend...I miss U so very much...


No Way
Would I Leave U
Without A Good Laugh!:-)
