From the music of Garth Brooks

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

To touch the heart of someone dear,
though it might sometimes cause a tear
to fall or rest upon the cheek;
Should be something all should seek.

For often hearts . . . not touched at all,
start hardening and shrinking small.
And then the time . . . it takes to grow
A loving heart, is very slow.

For hearts expand as those who care
extend their love and . . . let us share
a moment, space or special phrase
that eases pain on dreary days.
Or simply starts our lips to smile
and brightens time for just a while.

The ways and kinds and means of sharing,
it seems to me . . . are based on caring.

And though we're often worlds apart,
You still can touch my very heart.
You make me smile or shed a tear.
And I'll remember year to year
Just how your 'touching' helped me grow.
And I just thought I'd tell you so.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others including Love.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,
so all repaired their boats and left.
Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.
Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.
There is no place for you here."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel,
"Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love.
You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so love asked for help,
"Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh... Love, I am so sad that I need to be myself!"

Happiness passed by Love too,
but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you."
It was an elder.

Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.
Love, realizing how much he owed the elder,
asked Knowledge, another elder,
"Who helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdon and answered,

"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

It seems like time is all we have.

~ If this thought has made you think of someone truly special in your life,
pause now to send them a special note from one of the

links
I've collected. Saying, "I Love You" or "You are Special, My Friend"
takes so little time
~ and means so much to the recipient ~
