Never Take For Granted <br /> <br />There are many things we seem to take for granted, <br />Everyday, things like seeing and breathing. <br />Then again, we can be very easily supplanted, <br />Upset by little things, like babies teething. <br /> <br />Each day, there is a dawn and yes, a sun set, <br />If the clouds are over us, it may rain. <br />When it does, things surely will get wet, <br />And until it dries, that's how it will remain. <br /> <br />Taking things for granted, you know is just a sin <br />Don't forget the thankfulness for all that we were gifted. <br />The things we can hate, enjoy, lose or win <br />Can be happy, sad, even down; but can also be uplifted. <br /> <br />Let's not forget when sadness leaves we start again to smile, <br />Don't take for granted the time that we're allowed to care. <br />Or of sitting back and thinking about it a while, <br />As to our world, only we can make it a joy to live there. <br /> <br />So don't take for granted those you love <br />Cherish them throughout every sunny day <br />And on rainy days treat them with a gentle glove <br />And always hold them near to your heart in every way <br /> <br />Jim 2006<br /><br />James Casey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-take-for-granted-2/
