The Most Precious Gift You Can Give

Split a hair, the blink of an eye

Is that the difference between life and the moment when you die?

No matter how hard you try you will never beat time

A minute is a long time when you're waiting to die

A minute seems like nothing at all when your good times are high

The mind plays with time as the years go by

Time is a record of the secrets of your life

Giving time is the most precious gift you can give in your life
