I'm sure most everyone has had regrets of things not said or done when someone died.


How Would I Feel?

How would I feel if you were suddenly gone,
And I couldn't ever tell you how much you mean to me?

How would I feel if there had been harsh words;
Or just words left unspoken that I wanted you to hear?

How would I feel if I'd never taken the time,
To let you know I care or share your pain, by just being there?

How would I feel if I always meant to call or visit,
But just made excuses that "I'm just so busy."

Lord, let me be aware that each day may be my last,
Or someone else's that I love, and not regret the past.

Lord, never let me miss a chance to show the ones I love,
How precious they are to me, and how much I really care.

Let me never take for granted the blessing from above;
And never miss a chance to tell You, Lord, how grateful I am for Your love.
