If I’d known a year ago you wouldn’t be here today~ I’d spent more time with you instead of running off to play. If I’d known a year ago I wouldn’t see your face~ I’d thought to bring you roses and slowed my hurried pace. If I’d known a year ago I’d cease to hear your voice~ I’d done things oh, so different, and made a better choice. But life does not afford us the knowing in advance ~ So spend time with those you love while you still have the chance. LA Kirby 10/23/08

The Knowing
If I’d known a year ago you wouldn’t be here today~ I’d spent more time with you instead of running off to play. If I’d known a year ago I wouldn’t see your face~ I’d thought to bring you roses and slowed my hurried pace. If I’d known a year ago I’d cease to hear your voice~ I’d done things oh, so different, and made a better choice. But life does not afford us the knowing in advance ~ So spend time with those you love while you still have the chance. LA Kirby 10/23/08
