If I had only known
by Rhonda Vernelson Nord
If I had only known that day would be the last
The last day you and I would be breathing the same air within inches of each other
The last day you and I would ever ride in a car together and talk
The last time you'd point out an area of the county where you used to live long ago
If I had only known.
If I had only known that day would be the last
I would have hugged you a little longer
I would have written down where those places were that you pointed out instead of thinking, I'll be sure to do that some day soon.
I would have looked into those sweet eyes a little longer and told you one more time how much I loved you, if I had only known.
Tomorrow is not promised. Cherish every moment you have with those who love you and you love. I thank God that dad knew Jesus and is in heaven and I will see him again some day.
