Taken For Granted!


We take for granted…
Sight and sound-
All beautiful things,
Which grow from the ground.
We take for granted…
The darkening skies,
The swiftness of birds,
And their mating sounds.
We take for granted…
A baby's cries-
And to warn when they need us…
We ‘see' tears in their eyes.
We take for granted-
All that we hear…
All that we see-
All that is dear.
But, what of the deaf!
And what of the blind!
No hearing or sight!
What a terrible bind!
So when you wake in the morning-
To the sunshine shining bright…
Spare a thought for the blind!
Who forever live in the night!
And when you wake in the morning-
To ‘hear' the birds all sing…
Remember the deaf, who unlike us-
Cannot hear a thing.
…It's taken for granted…
All that we do!
But remember this well…
This could easily be you!
