What if you could prevent "too late" from happening? Too late to say you're sorry from filling you with regret? Too late to say you love someone who may need to hear it? Or too late to let them know they matter to you, pick up the phone and call them or just be willing to listen to them?
What if you are the one who is thinking about ending the pain on your terms but instead of reaching out one more time to people who care about you, you decide to just keep it from them? You cannot change "it" when it is too late, but you can prevent it from happening.
Today the featured video is James Taylor, Fire And Rain. "Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you," is heartbreaking but what makes is sadder is when he sings, "but I always thought that I'd see you again."
It is something that stays with you the rest of your life and if you are the one who is like Suzanne, then you will leave that pain in people who may have changed your life, before your changed theirs to be filled with never ending questions they will never have answers for.
Remember, it is your life...get in and drive it!

Fire And Rain
James Taylor
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus?
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby
One more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now
