Do you actually realize value?

To realize the value of a sister or brother,
Ask someone who doesn't have one.

To realize the value of ten years,
Ask a newly divorced couple.

To realize the value of four years,
Ask a graduate.

To realize the value of one year,
Ask a student who failed a final exam.

To realize the value of nine months,
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize the value of one month,
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of one week,
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of one hour,
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of one minute,
Ask a person who has missed a train, bus or plane.

To realize the value of one second,
Ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of a split second,
ask an olympic silver medalist.

To realize the value of a friend or family member,
lose one.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.

That goes along real well with the fact that you were missed. Is all well over there?
