Taken For Granted

Don't take people and things
For granted, or do at a later time.
Before you realize it, years have passed--
Things have gone, and people feel hurt and resigned.

Anything you get in life, no matter how
Hard you work--can disappear in the blink
Of an eye and leave you flat broke.
It happens more often than you think.

People you thought would always be there,
Get tired of being pushed to the background.
Some may break their link to you, or
Some may have even passed away--you weren't around.

Sometimes when this happens,
People realize where they went wrong.
Others are so wrapped up in themselves--
They don't notice when someone is gone.

Things can be replaced sometimes--
They're not always needed.
But friends and family and trust
Can't ever be duplicated.

Always be kind and make time
For others, it's not painful to do.
Remember:   how you treat others
Can be the way that they treat you.
