I Never Know

She would always give a kiss hello… and then a hug goodbye. One day, when I was older, 
I stopped…to ask her why. "Because, " she said, "I never know if this moment will be my last. If today I get to keep on living… or will I slip into the past." "So every moment I am alive, I try to laugh to love to cry… and why I'll always kiss hello and hug to say goodbye." She has been gone for many years now but I like to think she's smiling from her place up in the sky… every time she sees me kiss hello… every time she sees me hug goodbye.
