Tell Them, Don't Wait!

Tell them how you love them before
It is too late.
Do it right this very minute,
Don’t you dare wait!

Tell when they were little and sick
You held them tight.
You rocked and sang sweet songs to them,
Couldn’t sleep that night.

Tell them about their first day of school,
The tears you shed.
How that night when you tucked them in,
You kissed their head.

Tell them of all the times you prayed
Down on your knees,
When they were out with friends.
“Keep them safe, please!”

Tell them when they married you were
Proud as could be.
Then how a precious grandchild filled
Your heart with glee.

Tell how each achievement is
Stored in your heart,
Of the deep sadness which you feel
When you’re apart.

Go ahead, tell them you love them,
Before it’s too late.
Do it right this very minute,
Don’t you dare wait!
