I Wish I Had Told You

Message received: "I wish I had told you more often how much I love you." 

It's a beautiful message for all of us. Tell people that you love them while you can. Life is too short to live with regrets.

I forgive my family for being unable to express love and light.

I wish I had told you
By Michelle Morris

I wish I had told you 
More often how much I love you
I wish I had put aside
All my deepest fears and foolishness 

Giving love doesn't reduce it
It only makes it grow
Kindness and compassion
Is part of each and every soul

We only need to give it
Space and time and effort
We only need to remember
To live life without regrets

If we have faith and trust
In God's grace and mercy
In His divine plan
We can experience peace

For we are human for a short time
We need to make the most of it
Spend our lives giving joy
Expressing emotions freely

You don't want to be a ghost and say:
"I wish I had told you more often how much I love you"
Rather show your love today
And focus on building memories true 

Giving love will increase it exponentially 
It will uplift our collective souls 
Because we embody kindness and compassion
And to remember it helps us become whole

Where it felt strange at one time to tell girlfriends I love them…I do now. Every day and every person is precious!
