Things

I've started to notice I take things for granted,
I took walking for granted until I couldn't walk properly anymore,
I took singing for granted until my throat was sore,
I took dancing for granted until I could do that anymore,
I took seeing for granted until I had something in my eye,
I took loving you for granted until I risked losing you,
Why is it we forget about the joy of the simplest things,
Until there is a chance we will not have them anymore?
Why is it that the simplest of things bring us so much joy,
Yet we never realise it until it is almost to late?
