If I... Written by Veronica Leauato 'ivao Vae-Hunkin

This poem was written by my friend's aunt. I give all credit to her. It's really beautiful though, totally worth the read.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in tighter
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 day
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


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.


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 the 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

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
