Sometimes we take for granted,
What we have until it’s too late.
Living our lives as we please,
Thinking everything is great.
Failing to look around us,
And see that we are blessed.
Instead, all we do is complain,
Causing ourselves more stress.
We find ourselves dreaming,
Of where else we could be.
“Surely this is not the life,
That God intended for me!”
It’s easier said than done,
To be happy as we are.
So, we spend our lives,
“Wishing upon a star.”
God has given us so much,
That we can be thankful for.
He gave us family and friends,
And life with Him forever more.
