May 19
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.
I know how easy it is to take things for granted. I lost both of my parents over the last couple of years. I think about them daily. I remember Mom’s smile and Dad’s laugh.
