Love Poem: Taken For Granted

Taken For Granted

If only I had known
  how little time we had,
I would have surely shown
  how much I was glad.

To have you for my mother
  and to count you as a friend.
To know you as a teacher
  of how to love and mend.

To see the many little ways
  you brought joy to my life,
To know your strength and grace
  in times of trouble and strife.

You did for me most everything,
  I never gave it second thought, 
For I took your love for granted
  and never realized all I got.
