One issue that bothers me is people taking life, things and relationships for granted. I try and tell everyone I know to value and cherish every moment in life. I don't want to go blah blah about this now ...but read the poem I got from the net about taking things for granted.. This poem written by Dean Blehert.
Taking for Granted
Caught myself taking it for granted
that you'd be home when I walked in,
alive, glad to see me and I as glad;
that in the next hour no lightning,
heart attack, terrorist bombing
or unexplained vanishing would shatter
our plans;
caught myself, blamed myself
not for failing to appreciate
the miracles we live, but like
knocking on wood, as if to say, "It's OK,God,
I'm remembering to be scared,
so you don't have to prove anything to me.
"Stupid, because maybe I'd never
taken anything for granted; maybe
I knew we'd be fine for an hour,
for years, for happily ever after,
because I was making it that way,
making the world I want to live in
by the power of my knowing.
Maybe when I caught myself and
apologized to God, I stopped putting
that world there, put there instead
this fear.
