No Regrets About Today
Dear mum,
If I ever knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly.
If I ever 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 ever knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I ever 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 “I love you, mum” And certainly there’s another chance to say out “Anything I can do?”
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 you never forget all about me.
Love you mum, from you beloved daughter, EeLeen
