be reverent in your feeling
hold time gently
time is a priceless treasure
only gifted, shared;
like a soap bubble
as a Faberge egg
a locket of hair of a loved
one
held between wax paper
time is a priceless treasure
as grains of sand gathered
held within your hands;
do not waste or squander
the time you hold
the time you have are given
a gift of the Lord
priceless treasure
a gift to behold
