  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 minute:
  Ask a person
  Who has missed the a train, bus or plane.
  To realize
  The value of one-second:
  Ask a person
  Who has survived an accident.
  Time waits for no one.
  Treasure every moment you have.
  You will treasure it even more
  when You can share it
  with someone special.
  To realize the value of a friend
  or family member:
  
  To realize the value of money
  I was told try borrowing some .

  "Thank you Mum,
  Thank you Dad,
  Thank you God for creating ME!
  Through the seed of my father
  Through the egg of my mother
  Through their love,
  as, that was how,
  i came into this eXistence
  In your womb
  my dearest mother,
  I was fashioned;
  your love,
  as, well as,
  your spirit
  dwells within me;
  Truly I am wonderfully
  marvellously made!
  From your love
  and your wisdom
  i have come
  To this place
  and, to this time
  in history.
  To me
  you have given me
  blessings, gifts, and, love
  To me
  you have given me
  many good lessons,
  and, many good virutes,
  and, allowed me,
  to integrate them all,
  into my tasks
  some things,
  you have NOT given to others,
  precious things,
  like a mothers love for a daughter,
  this, i treasure, the most
  it is with deep joy,
  and, with deep gratitude
  that,
  I celebrate
  my much-honoured eXistence.
  through both
  my mother
  and, my father
  From ages past,
  thru to eternity,
  through the past,
  through the present,
  into the future,
  through The Pivot of The NOw
  i have always been included
  in your plan.
  i have also been included
  in God's divine plan.
  Thank you Mum, for creating me
  Thank you Dad, for creating me
  and,
  Thank you God for allowing me,
  to be created through
  the love that the two of you share,
  and, have always had together
  that, strong will to live
  that, strong will to do good
  that, strong will to be,
  all that, i truly am,
  able to be
  your magic,
  lives,
  within me,
  and,
  your magic,
  lives,
  within my heart forever
  and, it will last,
  throughout eons
  and, eons of time
  to come
  thank you Mum,
  thank you Dad,
  and, Thank you God
  for creating ME!"
  Love/ susan
