Essential-Value

You can pay me to think but cannot pay me to give a damn

Tell me what to think not force me what to feel

Show me all the differences we have but not make be empty

You can spend your money on what you would like but only time can buy me

Show me everything is real everything you see and everything you feel

Tell me you will set aside your wallet place the hour glass for an hour

Give me just a moment of time so we could enjoy the things that shouldn't cost

Everything that should never be attempted to be bought 

Now close your eyes so I have attention, listen to another life that has no pension 

Lend me some time its got no value yet priceless and better and never ending
