If Tomorrow Never Comes

I love this poem! It was from a talk in conference this past weekend. I have been thinking about it the last few days and I saw that my friend Jennifer had it on her blog...thank you Jen, I wanted to hear it again.




"If Tomorrow Never Comes"

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 or two
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 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 hold your loved ones close today,
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 okay".
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today

My Little James

It's been awhile since I've posted so I guess I better write an update. James came home from school last week with a trombone! He joined the school band! He had the trombone for a few days then decided he wanted to play the french horn, so he traded. He wanted to switch to something else, but I told him he had to stick with either the french horn or the trombone. Now he has signed up for wrestling! This boy keeps me hoppin! I know NOTHING about wrestling! He told me he needs shoes, head gear, knee pads, mouth gard and a physical. WHAT??!! So I'm taking him to the Doctor tomorrow for his physical. He is not happy about that. He told me "I heard what they do to you" so he is kinda freakin out! I am soooo not ready for all of this! He should still be wearing Sponge Bob underware and playing with his dinosours. What happened? And how do I make it stop? He likes GIRLS! I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not READY!!!

Well Josh turned 31 today! Happy Birthday!! My sister made a sticker for him, it is so cute! It fits him to a tee. It says "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys" He is such a kid in so many ways...with all the toys!! Anyways....If anyone needs stickers for their house or they are also great for gifts; look up her webpage. It's sayitsticky.com I put a link to it on my "blogging friends" section under Melissa's stickers.....check it out!
