Where Has the Time Gone

Tick-Tock morning has come
Tick-Tock evening is done
Tick-Tock the time for sleep has run

Second by second it runs
This man-made contraption
Tells you of the time you have
As if you could hold time

This hour is for breakfast
This hour is for lunch
Perhaps you had added one for brunch
Don't forget these ones are for work

Tick-Tock the year is gone
Tick-Tock the age has grown
Tick-Tock the clock has rung

What are your resolutions
For this new time
Be careful now....
These seconds are counting your life

Did you save them for friends
Did you save them for family
Did you save some for life

Tick-Tock
Does it tell you when it stops?

Fuzzy SK, first of all your poem is thought provoking when relating to time. The part I could relate to the most was, "This man-made contraption tells you of the time you have As if you could hold time". That is a profound realization because I see it as trying to control something that is out of man's hands. A great piece. thanks for sharing.
