CONTEST ENTRY- Kolayah shares poem “Don’t Take Things For Granted”

Poem:  “Don’t Take Things for Granted”
Author:  Kolayah KeeVan “KolayOtuNde”
…from his book “Only 1 Will Speak”

you seem to find me everyday about this time
going out of your way to be noticed
sometimes i don’t realize that you are there

i take it for granted that I’ll see you
yet long for you when things around me grow dark
nothing works when you are not around

chaos reins in your absence
Everything at a disorder
i guess that’s why the Creator made you first

you’re the only thing in my life that stays constant
when everything else change keeping your course
staying firm to your charge and what you were founded
on we all can learn from you
