The most important thing you can give is...

I was told that I am gold
But for you I will not hold
My moments are precious indeed
Every instance you have to heed

All through your life I will be there
Every emotion every grin every tear
You will revolve around my world
From your youth till you get old

I am a wheel and I am a space
I will give these to you with grace
You may try to speed me up
But for you I will not stop

You may measure me or divide me
Share me… I will give in to you for free
But you have to spend me wisely
Because there’s no way you can come back to me…

...TIME
