Before It Is Too Late by Author Unknown

Before It Is Too Late
by
Author Unknown

If you've a tender message
or a loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
but whisper it today.
We live but in the present,
the future is unknown--
Tomorrow is a mystery,
today is all our own.
The tender words unspoken,
the letter never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
the wealth of love unspent--
For these, some hearts are breaking,
for these some loved ones wait,
So show them that you care for them
before it is too late.

I remember my great Aunt Georgia Paschall Hill gave me this poem 47 years ago. I was 13 years old at the time. There were maybe 5 or 6 verses she wrote on lines paper. I memorized 3 or 4 of them but can only recall all of them until I read this. My father said she wrote it when she was a teenager. Georgia Paschall Hilll.
