The basic principle
of human need is to understand
and be understood...
In all acts of life!
The best way to obtain
this understanding is:
Listening to what the other person talks
understanding what the other person says...
May we be blessed to understand
(whether or not we find it in a rhyme)
one basic truth,
one basic fact
one basic principle of time
If you give me but a moment
I’ll try my utmost to explain:
It’s remembering as time flies by so quickly…
we are the pilots of our plane.
