The children have the finest things anyone can hope for in life: time with a parent or guardian that appreciates the importance of it.

The young speaker in your poem, talks about the deep importance of time, the aspects that may go by without attention being paid to them. He discovers how to value it and ponders over the best ways to spend it. He is growing in awareness of the why and how he came to make those choices. The poem can be of great benefit to many people, in no small way to people about to face the same kinds of choices. It has a very positive impact.
