BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
- If you have a gray haired Mother
- In an old home far away.
- Sit down and write her a letter
- You've put off from day to day.
Don't wait till her tired steps
Reach Heaven's pearly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you've a tender message
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait.
So make your mother happy
Before it is too late.
We people live in the present;
Our future is unknown;
tomorrow is a mystery;
today is all our own
The chance that fortune leads us to
May vanish while you wait.
So send to life's richest treasure
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten message,
the wealth of love unspent,
For those some heart is breaking,
For these some loved one wait,
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.
