Used to be so thankful then
Taking it for granted now
Used to be so tickled then
Feeling so discontent now
Used to be delighted then
Feeling obligated now
Used to be an anchor then
Feeling like a burden now
Used to be so natural then
Claiming them as my rights now
What’s between now and then
Was not simply a linear path
Once stitch a day I knit
My feelings may be a rope to bind
Or it can become a cape to warm
Depending on me
Used to take it for granted then
Cherishing it dearly now
Used to be discontent then
Feeling more than grateful now
Used to feel obligated then
Feeling truly honored now
Used to be a burden then
Taking it as a blessing now
Used to claim my rights then
Seeing that as arrogance now
What’s between now and then
Is not simply impractical
