The Face of a Clock

A Poem by Christina May Shanaberg

This was just such a fun poem to write!

THE FACE OF A CLOCK

 

I awake staring at the face of a clock

And listen to it singing, "Tick-tock, tick-tock;"

Good things come to those who wait,

But when the time comes, don't be late;

Mother Earth sleeps by Father Time

And, at sunrise, she'll ring his chime;

To yesterdays, its hands will forever wave,

Because moments in time, you will never save;

It patiently guides us to where tomorrow lurks,

As today passes through its works;

The "ticking" is a constant thing

"Tocking" of the adventures time will bring;

I awake staring at the face of a clock

And listen to it singing, "Tick-tock, tick-tock;"

May I, also, reinerate,

"DON'T BE LATE!"
