Don't Go To Bed

I love this poem. It is so very true! You never know when your loved ones will be gone or when you will be gone. Take the time to tell them that you love them!

DON’T GO TO BED

I’ve heard it said don’t go to bed

While hanging on to sorrow,

You may not have the chance to laugh

With those you love tomorrow.

You may not mean the words you speak

When anger takes its toll,

You may regret your actions

Once you’ve lost your self control.

When you’ve lost your temper

And you’ve said some hurtful things,

Think about the heartache

That your actions sometimes bring.

You’ll never get those moments back,

Such precious time to waste,

And all because of things you said

In anger and in haste.

So if you’re loving someone

And your pride has settled in,

You may not ever have the chance

To say to them again…

“I love you and I miss you

And although we don’t agree,

I’ll try to see your point of view,,

Please do the same for me.”

Sunday Stealing: The Fairy Tale Meme

Today's Sunday Stealing was ripped off a blogger named Patrice from her blog His Dark Beauty.   She says she got it from Melissa at "You Must Be True To Your Heart". Tracing back the thefts of those that we steal from could take a while. So, of course, that will be as far as we go.
