Taken for Granted

I’ve taken so much for granted
not recognizing the gifts I had.
Why must we lose a treasure
to know its value
to cherish each sunrise
laughter with a friend
a body health and strong
love which comes in many ways?

Today I will be more aware
grateful for all the blessings
in my life, take time to
savor each moment to its fullest.

Today I will open my heart
give love to all around.
Today I will take nothing
for granted for tomorrow
it could be gone.
