PSA for the day
WayFM has been playing "Things Left Unsaid" by Disciple here lately. I tear up every time I hear it.
Verse 1:
It's just a matter of time a few days ago
I saw you, you were fine
Remembering what you said
About the book you read
The one I got you
The Beginning of the End
Oh how we'd talk
For hours upon end
What I would give
Just to do it again
But you're lying there
In this hospital bed
Won't you open your eyes
And let's talk once again
(CHORUS)
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face
Verse 2:
Well I've been here all night
And I'm watching you
Breathe in and breathe out
Is it really you
Or just a machine
That's giving you life
And it's making it seem
That there could be hope
I could say to your face
If it weren't for you
That there would be no grace
That's covered my life
You took the time
To speak into my mind
And my heart
Words of life
(CHORUS)
Bridge:
So goodbye for now
And I'll see you again
Some way, somehow
When it's my time to go
to the other side
I'll hold you again
And melt at your smile
Now all I have
Are the ones that I'm with
And you taught me not
To take for granted
The time that we have
To show that we care
Speak into their minds
And their hearts
While they're here
And say I love you
(Chorus)
See why?
But it also makes me think. . .how many people do I take for granted every day? I didn't get to say goodbye to my Memaw. I saw her at Christmas, briefly, then she was dead less than two months later. Many a time I have wished that I'd taken the time to drive down there to tell her one more time that I loved her and to say good bye. I don't mean for that to happen again if I can help it.
That being said - all of you are dear to me in some way or other. Even those of you I've never met in person. You still touch my life in so many ways.
PSA: Take advantage of the time you have. Let those dear to you know you love them. Don't hold on to petty grudges and things that don't matter. You'll regret it if you don't.

I love you all. Yes, you. And you too.
