Tell Someone You Love Them

I tried to count my blessings
Just a few minutes before
Today was such a tragedy
I just couldn't ignore
The reasons that we love
The chances that we get
The moments when we hold so dear
The hearts we won't forget
The way the world keeps turning
Disasters that can take
Away the ones we hold so dear
In seconds of their wake
Oklahoma bombings
We never will forget
Trade Towers standing tall
Next minute GONE...and yet
Americans persevere
We're brave and still stand tall
Love outweighs the hatred
Faith lives and after all
Love comes above all of these
Its in our hearts...our creed
Tell someone you love them
Its important...plant the seed
Americans are about the love
The hearts that beat so true
Tell the world you love them
For me and them and you
Don't waste another minute
Another second take
Tell someone you love them
Before it is too late.
