If I Could Turn Back Time Contest

A Clock I built for my Daughter In Law These old hands of time are running slow Ben Gay has become my best friend Now oil is dripping from my main spring My cabinet is tarnished when I look in the mirror I use face cream as polish My pendulum now swinging slower If I could only turn back the time It would be the first time you wound me up My gears were smooth with plenty of oil and my spring was strong Our chimes would always strike at the same time My cabinet was smooth and my face would shine Oh how I wish I could turn back theses hands of time And not have worked so much over time Contest: If only we could turn back the hands of Time Sponsored by: Silent One Dated Created: 10/12/2019

But you have many more wonderful times to experience,... we'd all like to go back sometimes, though. Your poem is awesome. God bless you, with love, Gina

I think life is a journey and I would not want to go back and travel the same road again. So 'Time'.... do your worst. I will not be distracted from my journey. Have a great day.

This is poetry, poetry does not always pertain to real life and this is just for a contest, I also am steady on my own journey of life thank you for your comment David!
