1000 Lanterns

 

If I flew a 1000 paper lanterns

Way up in the sky

Would you see them from your window

If they flew real high?

 

Would 1000 paper lanterns

Travel that far away?

A 1000 miles through the air

Could they go that far today?

 

Would you know when you saw them

That they came from my heart

That I miss you so much every day

And we are so far apart.

 

And when your sister follows soon

My world will fall apart

And I will send a 1000 lanterns

For both daughters of my heart.

 

And when you see them in the air

Know they are from me.

And that I will love you both

From now through Eternity.

 My beautiful girls.

 

(guest poet Pauline.)

If I only knew

If I knew…

It would be the last time that I’s see you fall asleep,

I would tuck in more tightly and prey the lord your soul to keep

If I Knew…

It would be the last time that I’d see you walk out the door

I would give you a hug and a kiss and call you back for more.

If I knew…

It would be the last time I would hear your voice in praise

I would video tape each action and word, So I could play it back day after day!

If I knew…

It would be the last time I can spare an extra minute

To stop and say I LOVE YOU, instead of just assuming you knew

Just how I do.

If I knew …

it would be the last time I would be there to share your day

I thought you wouldn’t have so many more,

so  I Iet one slip away for surely there’s always tomorrow,

 to make up for an overnight and we will always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day, to say, I LOVE YOU! And certainly there’s another chance to say

Is there anything I can do?

But just , I might be wrong and today is all I get

I’d like to say, just how much I LOVE YOU and I hope you never forget….

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone young or old alike

And today may be the last time you get to hold your loved one’s tight…

 

So if your waiting for tomorrow to come, Why? Do it today, for tomorrow never comesyou’ll surely regret the day that you didn’t take the extra time for a smile, hug or a kiss

And you were to busy to grant someone, Turned out to be their last wish…

 

So hold your loved ones close today and 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 even…

“It’s okay.!”

 

And if tomorrow never comes

You will have no regrets about today.

 

I LOVE YOU STEPHINIE; YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART

&

IN MY DREAMS.
