Life's Clock

The clock of life is wound just once

That no one has a second chance

To change your very life of ease

Which you have lived just as you please

Knowing whom you intend to deceive

When they went they went on their knees

The hands go tick-tock every chance

They know they do this all but once

For time will not stay still and prance

While you forget your very chance

To wind the time so it could chime

And bring peace of mind at the right time

The sound you hear from time to time

Reminds you that you must keep in line

For life’s clock never seem to chime

Until the enemy steals your time

The alarm you heard sounds fine

Informs you that there is little time

The second hand at so fast a pace

Goes on and on to win the race

Not looking back to see the space

Fear it may meet with utter disgrace

So clock of life how do you dare

Compare your time to atmosphere

The things you do as time now stands

Will help shape you for eternity’s band

The ones you’ve rescued from false alarms

And those you’ve sheltered from life’s storm

Could be the center for your alarm

When time seems still and there’s no charm

The clock of life ticks on and on

For here on earth there is no man

To stop the hand when it strikes one

Nor telling it the time to quit

But there’s one who controls life span

 He sets an exit time for every man
