If I knew...

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 this 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 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.

Sky

The sky looks bruised. It is black and purple and reflecting the sunset in a glossy sheen of speckled gold. A very painful sort of beauty. Its watery skin stretches overhead, billowing like a kite one minute, spilling over itself the next. As the sun dips lower, a little something is whispered which causes the storm cloud to blush. A bright coral mingles with the purple for a moment... ...and then we recall for a split second that this is beauty with a price. The cloud we have met here is beaten and dark. It is alone in the expanse. The melanchololy dies in a flourish of red. I wonder who ripped their fingernail across the horizon and broke the tender flesh. Look, you see? There. She's bleeding.
