    The Gift is Not a Given
    The Illusion of Time
    Is the essence of one's existence
    For we are born to believe
    That we will live forever

    The Essence of a Dream
    Is that we can achieve
    Whatever we strive to obtain
    There are no boundaries; only infinity

    The Infinity of Love
    Allows us to care for many
    For time is not the issue
    Love is but a passage of our reality

    The Passage of a Lifetime
    Is but an integration of each
    Combined for as long as we are given
    For nothing, especially time, is limitless

    Beautifully written. The first verse was excellant. I felt like the student taught about life. Great job. TS
