In memory of all those who perished this morning; the passengers and the
pilot on the United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade
Centre and the Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go
out to the friends and families of the deceased...

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'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, to stop
and say "I 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 just right.

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 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 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 hold your loved ones close today and whisper in their ear, tell them how
much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank You," or
"It's OK" And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
