When was the last time…

When was the last time you took a moment to look at your wife,
Or your husband, or that special someone in your life?
When was the last time you stared into their eyes and saw
That spark that was ignited the first day you met which left you in awe?

When was the last time you told them that you love them,
I mean, really tell them how you felt when they are around?
When was the last time you held them in your arms to really hug them,
To feel their warm embrace, with your eyes closed, feeling safe and sound?

When was the last time you looked at your wife and told her how beautiful she was?
When was the last time you sent her flowers just because?
When was the last time you looked at your husband long enough to see,
How handsome and good looking he is, making your heart full of glee?

When was the last time you kissed your son, your daughter good night,
Tucking them in, knowing that you will always be there to unconditionally love them?
When was the last time you took a moment to see the radiance of the sun in their eyes so bright,
Making them feel precious and special in the most meaningful way, never doubting them?

When was the last time you went to their school event,
Making sure that when they looked for you in the audience, you will be there to see them smile?
When was the last time you talked to them about how they make you a proud parent,
Reassuring them that you’ll always love them and be there to walk with them that extra mile?

When was the last time you kneeled down and prayed,
Asking God for His blessings, mercy and grace?
When was the last time you talked to God before you went to bed and laid,
Thanking Him for watching over you in your daily life’s rat race?

When was the last time you told her she was beautiful?
When was the last time you told him you’re proud to be his wife?
When was the last time you told your children they are the joy of your life?
When was the last time, to God, you have been faithful?

Tell me, when was the last time?
