The biggest gift we receive is time,
The most expensive things we spend on is time,
And the biggest punishment we receive is time.
You want to know how time is precious.
Huhhhh!
If you want to know the importance of an hour,
Ask a university student who just missed a lecture.
And now has to spend time asking for notes,
And sleepless nights grasping what was taught.
If you want to know the importance of a minute,
Just go ask someone who just missed their flight,
Or a pier-runner.
Who has to wave in the air,
and scream just to be heard.
So they could be given a chance to board.
If you want to know the importance of a second,
Or go and ask Martin Truex Jr.,
Who missed by mere seconds,
With victory, dimming in his rearview reflection.
The choice is yours now
Do you understand?
I understand | Remain Ignorant

Oh wow, the gift, the cost, and the punishment of Time- the whole enchilada. A choice to make at every waking moment of our time-filled day.
A clever piece pf writing depicting the one thing we all have, and as each day passes we have less of it, Very enjoyable
