Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;

Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;

And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;

And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;

Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got;

And be thankful for the Little Things
in Life that mean a lot.

Growing old
is a privilege denied
to many...

Never leave behind regrets

~~ Author Unknown ~~

I may never see tomorrow;

there is no written guarantee,
And things that happened yesterday
belong to history,

I cannot predict the future,
I cannot change the past,

I have just the present moment,
I must treat it as my last

I must use this moment wisely
for it soon will pass away,

and be lost to me forever
as part of yesterday,

I must exercise compassion,
help the fallen to their feet,

Be a friend unto the friendless,
make an empty life complete

The unkind things I do today
may never be undone,

And friendships that I fail to win
may nevermore be won,

I may not have another chance
on bended knee to pray,

And thank God with humble heart
for giving me this day.
