I do not wish you any gift, 
I only wish you what most do not have. 
I wish you time, to have fun and to laugh; 
if you use it well you can get something out of it. 
I wish you time, for your doing and your thinking, 
not only for yourself, but also to give it to others. 
I wish you time, not to hurry to run, 
but time to be happy. 
I wish you time, not just to spend it, 
I wish you time to stay: 
time to be amazed and time to trust and not just to look at it on the clock. 
I wish you time to look at the stars 
and time to grow, to mature. 
I wish you time to hope again and to love. 
It no longer makes sense to postpone. 
I wish you time to find yourself, 
to live your every day, your every hour as a gift. 
I wish you time to forgive as well. 
I hope you have time, time for life.
