We Take Things For Granted

Listen to poem:
Every breath you take isn't good to take lightly Every near death experience teaches that slightly We're shown love from our friends and families constantly in every way We take their presence for granted thinking they'll be there everyday We take our five senses for granted and don't view them as gifts We live life like its guaranteed and never think about what if's Our lives are lived but not promised to no one But we take risk and take chances with life just for fun We think we're invincible and nothing can happen to us We have youngsters into drugs exploring for that quick rush We hold a grudge and stay angry with those who mean the most Not realizing life is too short and we should be holding them close We take things for granted because its part of our imperfection But we lose life as quick as we gain it so you make the connection
