Cannot Take It For Granted

This old world is not set in concrete, never stays the same Life is like the wind, blows where it wants to Some say that we are curse, some day that we are blessed To some it is just a silly game Whatever the case, it is really up to you Remember you cannot take life for granted One day you have a fine job, living on Easy Street Three car garage, best neighborhood, White picket fence Great wife and kids, until the storm blows in Your life now is upside down, and not so sweet And you thought that you would always win Next thing you know, you are out Living in a card board box on the street The Soup Line does not have a buffet, wife and kids are packed All that is in your head is a lot of doubt All done in and just about beat Yesterday, you took it all for granted None of us have a crystal ball to gaze into the future We have no idea what our tomorrows will bring One day at a time is all we can do Cannot out run Father Time or even begin to fool Mother Nature No one know when their final bell will ring Some might be thirty, some might be eighty two Life is so un certain, you never know from day to day You can live it to the fullest or just get by You can be happy,or you can be sadden But it is really, come what may And it will be that way until the day that we die But one thing about life, never take it for granted
