If I had known that it was your last day I would have fed you treats for breakfast
If I had known that it was your last day I would have ignored the arthritis and taken you for a long walk
If I had known that it was your last day I would have brushed your golden hair for hours
If I had known that it was your last day I would have let you win at ball each time
If I had known that it was your last day I would have given you all of the paper towel rolls I could find, and not complained once about picking up the pieces
If I had known that it was your last day I would have slept in your bed next to you like I did when you were little or sick
But mostly, If I had known that it was your last day I would have made sure that you understood how much I love you, how many lives you touched, how the world was a better place for having you, and now, how very lucky heaven is to have you in it.
