Measure For Measure

He gave everything else to his kids
  But he didn't give them his time

They robbed their father blind in return
  ~ Didn't leave the old man one thin dime

Thanks! ... A friend and I had a long talk about time with our (adult) kids a while back. I 've been spending a lot more time with mine, and it's just been wonderful for all of us. Cheers, Gershon

Love the message in this my friend. No sure, but if he had shared his time as well, the ending might have been much different

Almost for sure the result would have been different. No guarantees in life though, as we all know well. Thanks, Chris! Happy Thursday! :) Gershon
