some things we fight
for, tooth and claw--
uncertain when they'll fade
others, we lose sight
and take for granted,
believing they'll "always" remain
however, in one night,
that we believe unbreakable,
winds up forsaken; frayed
then, in foolish hindsight
we wish them restored;
us, more attention paid
What I'm trying to say is, things we don't know for sure we'll have tomorrow we do whatever it takes to make them stay in our lives, like a job. However, there are some things that we grow all too familiar with and forget to pay attention to, like a car or loved one, because we mistake them as a failsafe, an uncertainty--so, we pay them little to no mind. Ironically, however, it's the things we take for granted that always end up breaking, and we suddenly don't know what to do without it.
