Analysis of Before It's To Late
If you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say,
Do not wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today;
The tender word unspoken,
The letter left unsent,
The long-forgotten message
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;
Always remember not to forget,
The troubles that passed away;
Never forget to remember
The blessing that comes each day.
