Taken For Granted

Please tell me … have I taken you
for granted lately dear?
The love and generosity
you give throughout the year?

For try though I, to never lose
perspective come what may,
I wonder if my good intentions
ever go astray.

The little things you do for me,  
I so appreciate,
I hope you know I notice
all the efforts that you make.

Too often I become absorbed;  
distractions come and go,
While little things are overlooked
in daily life, I know.

So if I haven't shown my love
in all sincerity,
I'd like to thank you dear,
for all the joy you bring to me.

All those who need this for an exceptional "forgive me" card, take heed....this is it!  And from the best, I might add!

You can take me for granted if you want
Or  take me to the cleaners
You can take me out to dinner
For some little cocktail wieners...

Take me for everything I've got
I won't complain a bit
Take me for granted or take me in stride
But, please, just TAKE ME, KIT!!!!!!!

Laughing at Balladeer, but your poem was terrific Kit, and a good reminder for us to tell someeone today that we appreciate them.

We all take someone for granted at one time or another, but, thank you for reminding us to stop and give thanks. Your words of wisdom are refreshing.

Kit, this is lovely, and so true, I wonder why people take others for granted, and sometimes they don't mean to, it just happens in relationships, oh my, I'm a rambling rose this evening.....

Wonderfully written, Kit...thanks for sharing this 'reminder' with us!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

Either you're as great an actress as you are poet, or you're not often guilty of taking people for granted. *S* For you seem to have a gift (or make the effort *S*) to make people feel special. This is written beautifullly and also serves to make us pause to think if we're taking people for granted... Well done!
