Life's Clock

Time is precious time is priceless 
Every second ticks a minute 
Every minute ticks an hour 
Every stroke towards the midnight hour.

Born of our mother but still on the clock 
Like the pushing of a button on life's stopwatch.
Starting along being nurtured in life as the hands of the clock ticks by in sight

Growing by the hour and learning every day 
Watching the hands of time passing day by day 
Moving on in life and time passes on each year the clock ticks on celebrating a new year

Now as we get older and the clock goes tick tock you'll soon come to realise that the stopwatch will stop.
