More Precious To Value Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Time becomes more precious to value,
When a price is attached.
And evaluated with an appreciation.
Given and respected to expect it.

Time given to others,
Not hesitated but found wasted.
Is seldom appreciated.
And often overheard being berated,
By those who take it to disrespect..
Both the quality of time given,
And whomever may have volunteered...
Without requesting payment.
Regardless how precious,
The giving of their time is.
