[Written by a widow of the 9.11 Islamic sneak attack on the US in New York
and Washington DC, I thought this fitting to share today. Not humor, nor
meant to be. 9.11 will never just be “another” September day.]
IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I 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 just one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lift up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after
day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute 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,
When I was sure you’d have so many, I wouldn’t have just let this one slip
away.
