Only Time can Tell

One about how short life is.

My little pocket watch

Made of gold and steel

12 tiny notches

That only time can tell

Its many faces

Its moving hands

As time passes

Its churning sands

For my little watch,

Inside my pocket

Upon its chain,

my precious lockette

Can tell time

Without a mouth

Move a hand

Without a sound

Conjure up memories

Without a thought

For time can't be found,

Only sought
