JUST FOR TODAY

Yesterday I met a stranger....
Today this stranger is my friend. Had I not taken the
time to say hello, or return a smile, or shake a hand,
or listen, I would not have known this person.

Yesterday would have turned into today and our chance
meeting would be gone.

Yesterday I hugged someone very dear to me.
Today they are gone...
and tomorrow will not bring them back.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew tomorrow they would
be here? But this is not to be, so take the time TODAY
to give a hug, a smile, and "I love you."


JUST FOR TODAY,
....

.....listen to someone's heart
