If Time Be the Only Thing of Value We Have To Lend

If in the end

Time be the only one true thing

Of actual real value

We in our hearts and minds possess

And we are able to lend

And may well in fact be 

The essence and piece of us we leave behind

Then with that in mind

Be kind and plentiful with your time

And spend it and spread it

Wisely

Amongst and with deserving others

Who also intern 

Are willing to reciprocate

And pay you the time of day back
