I took for granted, you'd always be here <br />Wasn't I oh so wrong <br />My love for you wasn't enough, to keep you by my side <br />I try to keep my head up high, thinking god needed you with him <br />But, I get so frustrated and mad <br />Why did he take you away from me, my precious little baby <br />My heart still aches to see your face, to hold you in a warm loving embrace <br />How can one go, oh so young, with so much left unndone <br />Such a short life, it was indeed <br />No time for words or love <br />Somedays it is hard to crawl out of bed <br />Knowing you won't be there <br />To smile at me, or hug me <br />To make my life crystal clear <br />I gues I took for granted, alot of things: including life <br />I guess I took for granted you would always be by my side<br /><br />jeannie schmidt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-took-for-granted/
