Time

To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one.

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to
A premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.

To realize
The value of a friend
or family member:

LOSE ONE.


The origin of this poem is unknown,

Remember...
Hold on tight to the ones you love!

Mark-

Thanks for sharing. I just read your last two posts. Today is two days after what would have been my sister's 39th birthday. She died less than a year ago and she is also someone I will never forget and will always value. Thanks for sharing!
