To Often

Too often I take for granted, 
the things important in my life; 
my home, my friends, my children, 
and my beautiful loving wife. 
My job which may not be the best, 
always seems to pay the bills; 
I always seem to have what I need, 
maybe though without all the frills. 
Even so my needs are met, 
in heart I feel peace and rest; 
Lord thank you for taking care of me, 
you truly are the best!
