What About Life Poem by Moore Hope

Many times we take life for granted,
We don't appreciated the little things we have,
We have a tendency to desire those things we cannot get
We are jealous of those who have these things we want
But what about life
There are people out there who are dying
Here we are wanting material goods
There they are wanting another day to live
We don't realize how precious life is until it is threatened to be taken away from us
We don't realize how lucky and blessed we are to breathe on our own
We suffocate ourselves with our own selflessness
We do not realize that our life is the greatest thing we have
We should thank god ever time we take a breath
