Best Taken For Granted Poems

brighter afternoon
after the solar eclipse
four eyes put away
as couples are high-fiving
emphasizing  photographs

heigh-ho back to screen
first to post solar eclipse
along with the throngs
lucky strike of sunshine gold
its older than the black hills

the sun soon will set
but will all appreciate
the normal darkness?
sunset taken for granted
without retinopathy

We don't appreciate electricity until it's gone.
Especially at night when our lights can't be turned on.
Most of us take electricity for granted until we have a blackout.
We don't realize how important it is until we have to do without.

Electricity is important, for many people it...

I once took for granted my childhood when still too young to know,
how time was fleeting and so misleading like a movie picture show.  

I'm older now but no wiser and sadly must convey,
I still take too much for granted including work and play....

Ignored Assumed Taken for Granted
By George W. Clever-----7 September 2020 

Admittedly, there is a most important thing I take for granted
You may ask what do I mean by ‘taken for granted’?
I mean it is something undervalued 
I mean it is something underappreciated
I mean it is...

Remember all you see each day
All the things that are around you and
Keep close to all the friends you have
in the bubble that surrounds you

Simple gestures, little things
The stuff that's out of sight, most days
it flows on by without a look
in the bubble that surrounds...

If only I had known
  how little time we had,
I would have surely shown
  how much I was glad.

To have you for my mother
  and to count you as a friend.
To know you as a teacher
  of how to love and...

Only a couple of months locked in
That feels like an eternal sin
Sat alone staring at four walls
I need some company just to talk
Remember the the things we took for granted 
Like day trips to hemel Hempstead 
Meeting friends for a quick tea
And an evening in...

A gift of art. 
At dusk.
At dawn.
A gift from above
And beyond.

My soul wonders the earth lonely,
Only to be found by that special someone,
Cause my heart is taken hostage already,
And sometimes I wonder If I'm ever ready for this place we call our world,
Only to hear that kids are starving everyday
But yet we take things for...

My feet
     that have brought me so very far
My face
     that has shown a million smiles
My hands
     that can hold yours,
My fingers
     that write, or paint, or sew, or...

Kids running crazy around the house
Is he at the bar again?
Fast train to wit's End
Throwing away money you don’t have
Here he comes, strolling in
Stinking of booze and smoke
Sorry, darlin, got caught up with the boys
Shooting pool and unno, shaking the week off
Aw come on, don’t...

must i arise every dawn
to do nothing but shine upon
and warm all those who shiver
i, a scorching giver

and rarely am i truly praised
seldom i am looked upon
my rays seep through the cloudy haze
the foggy mist of early dawn

but no one seems to thank my presence
scarcely...

Do you remember that time when just loving each other was the right fit:
Respect, honesty and mutual agreement made the relationship fully legit.
Now-a-days, relationships are of different types and ways of getting knit;
Monogamy died, producing Open, Complicated, and Friends with benefit.
Desires yearning more for sex,...

You told me all I need to know 
Without a single sound
I'm obsolete, I'm useless
Not worth to be around
Like a biting, flying insect
You wish I wasn't here
Point noted and well taken
I hear you loud and clear
Your silence is an action
So nice it is to know
How...
