For Granted
Ever watch a sunset
take a moonlight stroll
Ever stop to just watch
a bird feed her young
Have you ever took a deep breath
after the rain
Have you watched a mother
love her child
When was the last time you just sat
and reflected on life
Was there ever a time you tossed
a penny into a wishing well
Have you let life pass you by
When was the last time you laughed out loud
Ever watch a movie and it made you cry
Did you stop to pick a flower
write a love song
When was the last time you took time out for you
Was there ever a time you wanted to climb
the highest mountain venture to the deepest
depths of the sea
Did you stop to count the stars
have you ever wanted to visit a distant land
Life's little pleasures taken for granted
Ever stop to just to give thanks
Ever listen to the rhythm of the ocean
When was the last time you said thank you to
a friend
All these things we take for granted
to be here today could be gone
Tomorrow
