to realize the value, ask someone.....

I have always loved this and wanted to share it with you...

To realize
the value of a sister or brother,
ask someone
who does not 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
just failed a final exam.

To realize
the value of nine months,
ask a mother who just gave
birth to a stillborn.

To realize
the value of one month,
ask a mother who just gave
birth to a premature baby.

To realize
the value of one week,
ask the editor of
a weekly newspaper.

To realize
the value of one minute,
ask a person who has
just missed a plane, bus or train.

To realize
the value of one second,
ask someone
who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
