For Granted

A Poem by Kitty

Life is strange -
One day you're on cloud nine,
The next you wish you could die.
Why do things change so suddenly
Without so much as a warning?

We take what we have
So for granted,
Assuming it'll always be there.
But what happens
When that one day comes
And everything you had is gone?

You'll look back
And remember
All the things you've forgotten,
Crying lost tears
Over things that'll never return.
You'll wonder why
You didn't take more time
To appreciate all you had.
