For Granted
We take for granted things we have
And rarely give a thought to
The many who have so much less;
I guess we really ought to.
Of course, we’ve worked for all we’ve got –
There was no silver platter –
But to the ones who struggle,
That distinction doesn’t matter.
For those of us whom circumstance
Has let us to believe
That life will keep providing
All the goodies we receive…
We should take a moment every day
To thank our lucky stars
For we never know how deep we’ve dipped
In fortune’s reservoirs.
