The Watch

I have this watch with no hands on it
So it never has to quit 
As I've found out when it comes to life
That time is irrelevant 

And that's what my watch reminds me of 
With my reflection in its face
That all the time in the world
Is not enough if you don't live today

I check my watch quite frequently 
And the only one I see
Is the only one of my concern
And that my friend is me

I'm now in the business selling watches 
With reflections but no hands
To help those in need to realize 
There is no time for demands

Take all the time that you like 
This watch is custom made
With no hands but the reflection 
To remind today's the day
