Granted

Over the weekend, i realized how much is taken for graanted. I saw a couple sitting on the pattio. The woman was dolled up, but still modest-looking; a pretty lady. The man she was with seemed to show little interest in her, which upset me a bit. She is a pretty lady, and would like your attention, but for whatever reason, your not giving it to her. This was before they got their order. Sitting opposite of eachother across the table, but facingto the building, and not eachother. every moment or so, she would look at him, but he didnt look back at her. They sat in, what seemed to be silence.
When i sat accross the table from my wife, i dont want to take my eyes off her. I see all the beauty within her, makeup, nice clothes or not. Burgers or caviar, i still love her and enjoy her personality.
Thinking about that, and realized that few stop to admire a flower. Or step out into the country to breathe fresh, clean air. Or look at the stars and listen to the crickets chirp, or the birds sing. Walk on the grass bare foot and feel the blades between your toes. Some small things that we take for granted may very well not be here tomorrow.
