What You Can Do

As I lay in bed in pain,
Trying not to go insane,
Envying ones who never knew,
They take for granted what they can do.

If they knew, would they complain?
Would they live their life so vain?
Sadly, I have done that too.
We take for granted what we can do.

I wish I could do the mundane
Instead of lying here in pain,
Things that could take care of you.
I took for granted what I could do.

Knowing in my heart and brain,
Things will never be the same.
How I wish that were not true.
Don’t take for granted what you can do.

For some day you may lose it too.
Thank the Lord for what you can do.
