Time

One Year
A lot can happen in one year. You can move. You can go off to school. You could get married. You can add a few inches, take off a few pounds.  Make and break new years resolutions. You can have a baby. You could build a house in a year. A lot can happen in one year.
One Year

One Month
A lot can happen in one month. You can learn good habits and cease the bad ones.  Change your major. Change your job. Get into a relationship. You could buy a new car. You could learn a new skill. A lot can happen in one month.
One Month

One Week
A lot can happen in one week. You can start new classes for school. You can get glasses or contacts. You can get sick. You can have surgery. You could read a book. You could travel, maybe go visit home. A lot can happen in one week.
One Week

One Day
A lot can happen in one day. You can dye your hair. You can meet a new friend. You could buy food, or do your laundry. You could finish your homework. You could also elect a new president. September 11, 2001 was just one day. D-day was just one day. Pearl Harbor was just one day. Alot can happen in one day.
One Day.

One Hour
A lot can happen in one hour. You could go to class in an hour. You could spend time with a friend. You could play with your child. You could do your dishes or clean your room. You could help someone with homework they don't understand. You could read your scriptures. You could talk with your grandparents about when they were younger. Someone could pass away in an hour. A lot can happen in one hour. 
One Hour

One Minute
A lot can happen in a minute. You could say I love you. You can write a note telling someone you care. You could say a prayer. You could take out the trash. Your baby could take her first steps. You could lose a friend in a minute. You could lose your home in a natural disaster in one minute. A lot can happen in one minute.
One Minute

One Second
A lot can happen in a second. You can fall in love in a second. You can get an idea in a second. You can lose a friend's trust forever in a second. Your baby could say "mama" for the first time in a second. Your heart can be broken in one second. Your dreams could come true in one second. You could say "Yes" in one second. Alot can happen in one second.
One Second

Just as many important things happen in one second as in one year. You can do important things, things that mean the world to someone in one second. Don't let them pass by. And also, don't think that nothing will change. There will come a time when things will be lost. And you may not get a month or a year of warning. It could be lost in a second. 

"Take care in your minutes and the hours will take care of themselves." -Lord Chesterfield
