Things We Took For Granted!

Things we took  for 
Granted, becomes 
Things that haunt 
Us in the End, so learn 
Not to take anything 
For granted.

Things we took for
Granted becomes 
Relevant in mid-life 
Or at life’s latter End 
Ask to be told. Learn 
From the pitfalls of others.

Things we took  for 
Granted such as
Discipline, order, 
And cleanliness 
Later became the 
Fulcrum around which
Our adult lives revolved 
So pay attention to them!

Things we took for 
Granted such as 
Friendliness, respect 
Courtesy etc which opens 
Doors, later affected 
Our progress in life. 
As doors are shut against 
Us, because we lacked them!

Things we took for
Granted such as advice, 
Instructions, corrections 
Later revealed and exposed 
Our weaknesses! Regretful 
As they are! We wished 
We could turn the clock back!!

Looking back! A word to the wise
