The Clock on the Wall
The tick, tick, tick, of the clock on the wall
is a reminder of the passing of time to us all
and with each tick, it seems to say
another part of your life, gone away
So don’t waste these seconds,
these ticks of your life
spend them with your Family,
your children and wife
For the clock on the wall, it ticks for them too
so do all the things, a family should do
spend time together, to talk, laugh and sing
and make all the memories, a good life can bring.
One day in the future, the family will sit
around the table, and hear the clock tick
and memories return, to those who still know
of when the clock ticked, in the days long ago
But now, the digital age is here
and though I listen I cannot hear
the tick, tick, tick, from those days long ago
except in my mind, where the memories still flow
