To My Little Noah
 
If I knew it would be the last time that I would see you fall asleep
I would have tucked you in more tightly and prayed the Lord your soul to keep.
 
If I knew it would be the last time that I would see you walk out the door
I would have given you more hugs and kisses and called you back for more.
 
If I knew it would be the last time I would see you I would have made extra time,
To stop and say "I love you" and not assumed that you knew how much I do.
 
If I  knew there were so few tomorrows I would have made up for my oversights,
I thought there would be so many chances to make everything right.
 
I knew there was so much time to tell you how much I love you
I knew there were so many more chances to say "What do you want to do?"
 
Now I know tomorrow is not promised to everyone, young and old alike.
So hold the ones you love, hold them very tight.
 
If you are waiting for tomorrow, WHY not today?
If tomorrow never comes you will feel the pain all day.
 
Why not take the time for that extra smile, or hug or a kiss.
Never be to busy to give someone you love their wish.
 
Please hold the ones you love close  and whisper in their ear.
Tell them how much you love them and how much you hold them dear.
 
Take time to say I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, or it's okay.:
If tomorrow never comes you don't want sorrows of another day.
 
Love to all
Karen Mom Gramma and Nana
