Life For Granted

We forget where we come from.
We forget who we are.
We take life for granted,
God brought us here for a reason.

Will to love others for who they are.
Will to give to those who have nothing.
Will to live like the Jesus Christ.
But we forget why we are here.

Life sucks, 
Who cares!
Life isn’t opposed to be easy.
Life isn’t opposed to be fun.

We have to fulfill our purpose.
We think about ourselves,
Instead of thinking others who have little.
They don’t have what we have.



Look at what we have, 
Will lucky.
They starve and die.
They die of cancer.
But we forget about this.
We take life for granted.
