Is this the last time I have to show you I love you? Could this be my final chance to look into your face and show you grace? If it were thus... wouldn't I want my parting words to be, "You are a 9, and not a 3." If this were my last opportunity to hold your hand, wouldn't I want to hold it tender and long?
Finite. The opportunities we have to love... to bless... to forgive... are finite.
Oh, may I love now, and not when the hour is late. And death closes in to seal our fate.
Man is but a breath. Our life--- but a whisper in time.
May I seize every opportunity, every moment, To stop. To slow down. To listen. To love. As if it were the last time.
