There are things we take for granted, like a sunset or sunrise
A thing of natural beauty, happening right before your eyes
A super yellow glow, out there beyond our atmosphere,
But although we can all see it, it’s something we will never hear.
The deafening boom of thunder, will awake us from our sleep
Although we may search the sky, it’s invisibility it magically keeps
We watch the evening tide, come crashing into shore
But when we awake next morning, it isn't there anymore.
Instead of taking things for granted, let's appreciate what is there
For life soon fades and disappears, like a receding line of hair.
Admire someone’s wisdom, and take in all you can
They just might light a bright idea, that wasn't in your plan
Don't take each other for granted, let them know how much you care
As like the tide, you may wake to find, that they are, no longer there.
