LifeTime

The clock ticks The hands unwind Moments pass A second in time The chime peals one Morning in night A newborn son Being brought to light The alarm chirps seven Off to school we go Childish voices rise Laughing in the snow Wrist watch buzzing twelve Bolting out the door Last day of class School bells no more The bells ring out at six Birdseed in their hair Laughing down the aisle Love's made aware Microwave beeps at nine Home and hearth to tend Children sleeping quiet Enjoying a life on lend Bells toll at twelve Mourning widow cries Family gathers round As a man slowly dies The clock ticks The hands unwind Moments pass A second in time DW © 10-24-03 Back to the Poetry 2 Page Copyright © 2003-2004 Designs
