Awake Around the Clock

R-ound the clock still awake, 
O-ctober thirteenth day, ; 
S-leeping not at night, 
E-ven beneath the ray.
M-oving around the clock, 
A-wake for every moment; 
R-elaxing not night and day, 
I-t's a twenty-four hour
E-vent.

O-n going without cessation, 
N-o let-up finding the luck; 
D-enying to heed the time, 
A-wake around the clock.
L-ooking to be aware, 
O-n guard for the flock; 
S-alvation is for the alert, 
A-wake around the clock.
