The clock of life

THE CLOCK OF LIFE

There are clocks by our names,

They are wind-up and we are given a life to live,

They keep ticking all the time.

They tick and never stop,

Until our time ends by.

The seconds ticks and turns to moments,

The minutes represent the days,

The hours in the clock of life are the years,

Your clock is ticking in it's own way.

Slow and steady the clock of life moves,

Lying somewhere above in a heavenly place,

It ticks and waits for our time to be overdue,

Our memories cannot be erased.

Time is ticking even now,

Listen to the heartbeat and the tick of the clock,

They are for a purpose,

Which reminds us we are alive today.

No one knows when the ticking is stopped,

The clock doesn't give extra time,

It stops and make everyone alarmed except us,

Eventually, our life and the clock is done,

We played our part in our life,

That will be the time to let go,

Remember when it stops ticking,

It is death.

Very and I do mean very powerful piece. If we saw time as the most precious resource as you beautiful depicted in this piece, we would get off our butt and do more with our lives instead of watching others or gossiping. Depending on the clock you have at home, if you stay quiet enough, you can actually hear time pass by. I love this piece.

Your welcome. This is my opinion that a lot of regrets might be minimized if you really understood the value of time and the only guarantee in life is death.
