If I Only Knew

We are all guilty of waiting too long to say the words we should be saying everyday of our lives to the ones close to us. We wake up in the morning and it is a beautiful sunny day, we feel on top of the world not thinking about that car with a drunk driver, or the blockage in our heart that we didn't know exsisted, or that we may fall and hit our head, so many things that could happen and we are never prepared for it. We leave ourselves saying, if I had one more hour, one more day, just one moment. I believe we should live as though it is our last day and never have to look back to say, but I never said I loved her/him. I am so lucky to have a fantastic relationship, I am lkie a kid in a candy store all the time. I will never look back to wish I had said those three little words, because I wonder if he ever tires of hearing them from me, but he says them as often. I Love You.


If I Only Knew

When you leave the house to go to work,
I kiss you everyday, because I'm not sure,
What will happen throughout the day,
If I only knew, you'd walk back in the door.

When I watch you as you sleep at night,
With tears I gently kiss you on the brow,
I wonder will you wake up and smile at me,
If I only knew, I'd be resting Dear right now.

Everyday is like a celebration with you,
I live it to the fullest for I fear,
How could I live my life another day,
If I only knew, Dear it would be without you.

I smell each cup of coffee I make for you,
Each cup you enjoy, for I drink tea alone,
And pray that I'll prepare it each night,
If I only knew, that you'll be coming home.

I tell you all my secrets, we have become one,
I smile over at you as you smile back at me,
And I worry for that precious moment,
If I only knew, could it be more tenderly.

But just in case, it becomes our last day,
I keep on saying, I love you so much dear.
Because it's so very important Darling,
That you know how much I really care.

Hey sis, another beautiful piece, and oh so true, that is why we believe in telling and showing the special people in our lives that we love daily. Love & hugs.

Very valuable and wise advice that is the best thing we can teach our own children as we age and they begin to start living on their own. Rose you always express your love so wondefully.

That's the corner stone of a lasting relationsip. This is a powerful wake up call to all of us who rush around and take so much for granted until that day it surprises us and we are sad of what we could have said but put it off and then it was too late.
