HUMAN NATURE

Is it human nature to take so much for granted;

To never appreciate anything until it's gone,

Or not realize how beautiful a face is

Until you never see it again?



Is it natural instinct to face the world

With blind eyes and deaf ears;

To see only what we want to see,

And hear what we want to hear?



Do we even notice life while we live it?

Will we miss life when we have to give it

All up to a higher power

When the hands of time have struck the final hour?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

You don't know what you've got til it's gone.

It's well-written and often true, but if that is human nature, then I'm not human.
