Given to me without a choice. Given on such great obligations. Obligations I must live up to, yet have not a guide nor paradigm. Given with little regard to my wishes, my desires or cares.
Such a great gift I can't explain. Every experience, laughter, joy; every moment a treasure. Every heartbreak, failure and tear a result of this gift. A wonder it's own. I am a result of it. It controls, it moves and is my every fiber and being.
It rides on every breath I breathe. It dwindles each moment I live. The sand in the clock falls slowly and cannot be stopped. So little and so short, yet it seems to last forever. Yes, a lifetime.
Life, but a moment fleeting in time. Such a grand reward for living, such a prize. No price can be given, for life is invaluable. Your measured amount never known til it's past. Your last breathe a leaving gift from God. Life, but a wonder and marvel.
More costly than money, more cherished than love. Yet we take it for granted and give not a second thought. Every year, month, day, second in time slipping away slowly but we let it fly by the wayside.
My life, my treasure, my very being so august. A gift not to be taken lightly. A gift given without my choice. A gift I honor and apprize.
