Love Is Neglected!

I've been listening to Alicia Keys, Like You Never See Me Again. The song focuses on embracing each moment with the one you love (in this case a romantic love)as if they will never see you again. Some would see it as a passionate, romantic song with a lot of sex appeal. But, she says one thing that is so very powerful to me, probably b/c I'm single right now! :)

"I don't want to take for granted the time you may have hear with me, Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed, so everytime you hold me, hold me like this is the last time, everytime you kiss me, kiss me like you'll never see me again...etc.

Just think, someone woke up on 9/11/2001, today, yesterday or last week and rushed out the door heading for whereever and never came back. Someone may have had a fight with a loved one, fussed at their child b/c they were moving too slow in getting ready for school or maybe they haven't been talking to their sister, mother, brother, friend b/c of an argument too long ago to even still be a wedge between you and them or; putting off things until you returned home later. Only never to return again.

We should wake up and thank God for every single day we are given. It is a gift just to be here. The only time that is guranteed is the time you have right now. No other minute, hour or day is promised to us. Settle your issues with people, enjoy your children and make memories for them. Love your spouse like it is your wedding night every night. Put away the small stuff. Don't focus on those things that at the end of the day will not make you live longer, give you peace and will not bring joy to your day.

Trust when I say, if you are not here tommorrow, those moments in time will speak volumes to those left to mourn you when you are gone. It will be comforting to know without a shadow of doubt that you loved them like you'll never see each other again.
