 If Tomorrow Never Comes..
If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, 
I would tuck you in tighter 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 one more. 


If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted 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 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 our," I love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance to say our. " Anything I can do's?"


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 we never forget.


Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.


So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss 
and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.


So always hold them dear.


Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, or It's okay.


And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.


Let's pray for our tomorrows, and pray for the ones hurting and the ones we have lost . Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Watch The Telethon

A who's who of entertainers--from Tom Cruise to Tom Hanks to Tom Petty--has agreed to assemble Friday night  September 21, for an unprecedented telethon on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox to aid the victims of last week's horrific terrorist attacks. 

The live two-hour event, called
America: A Tribute to Heroes, will "raise funds and raise the spirits of all who have been touched by the horrific tragedy that has struck America," according to a joint press release Tuesday from the four networks. 

"America: A Tribute to Heroes will seek to unite a shaken world with words and music while paying tribute to the indomitable spirit, unfaltering fortitude and courage that truly makes America 'the land of the free and the home of the brave,' " the press release reads.

Billed as "an unforgettable and uplifting evening filled with music, memories, hope and inspiration," the event will be simulcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox from 9-11 p.m. ET and 8-10 p.m. CT (it will be tape-delayed in Mountain and Pacific time zones). In addition, the feed is being made available to all other broadcast and cable networks and radio stations, with the WB, UPN, E!, MTV and VH1 among those planning to carry the telethon. 

The sheer star power is staggering. Participants will include Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Tom Petty, along with (in alphabetical order) Bon Jovi, Amy Brenneman, Jim Carrey, George Clooney, Sheryl Crow, Cameron Diaz, Celine Dion with Rosemary Butler, the Dixie Chicks, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Calista Flockhart, Dennis Franz, Kelsey Grammer, Faith Hill, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Conan O'Brien, Ray Romano, Julia Roberts, Paul Simon, Will Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Sela Ward, Robin Williams, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young, with more likely to be added in coming days. 

All funds raised by America: A Tribute to Heroes will be earmarked for the postattack relief effort.
