The Clock

The Clock (advice to grandparents) By Franklin Price 6/22/2105 Embrace the ticking of the clock The playing of the chime The wonders that are happening With the passing tock of time Grasp the chains and lift the weights That move the hands around Time will move regardless If the clock makes not a sound Participate in passing time In the ticking and the tock In the chiming and the gonging Of what is now grandfather's/mother's clock
