If You Knew

IF YOU KNEW If you knew it would be the last time To see your loved ones sleep Will you not tuck them tightly And pray their soul to keep ? If you knew it would be the last time To see them walk through the door Will you not give them a kiss And call them back for more ? If you knew it would be the last time You would hear their voice in praise Will you not record every line And play them back in days ? If you knew it would be the last time For them to say 'i love you' Would you think of a better time To say you also do ? If you knew it would be the last time You both have to share a day Will you not plead eternal sunshine So that day won't slip away? If you knew it would be the last time For you to kiss so long Would you say there would be another To make up for that wrong ? Though there would be many chances But if this is all you get Will you not love like you are in a trance And hope they won't forget? Tomorrow is not certain To young and old alike Today may be the last day You get to share a hike Why should you leave for tomorrow What you can do right now ? So if tomorrow never comes You will not say a wasted vow Just go that extra mile It may be their last wish Give them a kiss or smile Do not wait until you are rich Hold your loved ones tight Hold them very close Tell them your dreams at night Give then even a rose Take special time to say 'I love you', 'thank you' or 'do not worry' So if tomorrow never stays You will not feel so sorry By:Adams Elizabeth Oyarese Lizdiamond World Of Poetry
