Do I Take You For Granted?**

O yeah,
You are taken.
Definitely, definitively, infinitely.

I take you to be my lawful Grantor.

A gift to myself, from you,

Gave, given, taken.

You are the grant and my giver.

My past, present, and my present to my future.

Tenses confused.

But I am not.

You gave me a gift.
My gift was you.
I take it.

I accept, accepted, and continue to
look forward to answering when inquiring,
most assuredly,
I do, I do.
I do take you for granted.
Another old poem found lying around, from long ago, refusing to get out of bed on a Friday morning...what I hope is that you take it, and give it to someone as your own, for your own, and then become "a mutual fund"
