Take for granted

 You take your knees for granted.
The big rubber wheels.
The bank account gets taken for granted.
It's slowly slid past into the negatives.
A blizzard blight on it.

Take your health for granted.
You forgot exactly where you kept that essence.
The big MRI levers going to save you.
Redeem you back to where you once were in your youth.
But you took your memory for granted.

Took it all for granted the very brain you think with.
These thoughts running through passing their expiry.
Where's the grateful part of me I ask myself.
The part that wants to live and give.
For it it'll be gone pretty soon.

wittled down through expectation.
worn out by inertia.
You are just losing your light out there in space.
So don't take any of it for granted.
Each little piece is precious.
