"The Time Is Now"

Saw this in the Sunday paper and loved it! The author is unknown.

"If you are ever going to love me,
  Love me now, while I can know
  The sweet and tender feelings
  Which from true affection flow.

   Love me now.
   Do not wait until I'm gone
   And then have it chiseled in marble,
   Sweet words on ice cold stone.
   If you have tender thoughts of me
   Please tell me now.
   If you wait until I am sleeping
   Never to awaken,
   There will be death between us
   And I won't hear you then.
   So, if you love me, even a little bit,
   Let me know it while I am living
   So I can treasure it."
