Nothing should be taken for granted <br />In an instant your world can be destroyed - <br />The great Happiness built slowly over a lifetime <br />Can too in a moment be taken away- <br /> <br />Nothing we have and nothing we are <br />Is ours forever surely – <br /> <br />Appreciate and be grateful for the good in your life- <br /> <br />But know too <br />That all your Gratitude and Goodness <br />Will not know to prevent <br />The evil day when it comes.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-should-be-taken-for-granted/
