Grandmother Time
I like the ticking of a clock
Wound tight but counting down
The way it echoes ‘cross the kitchen
With a nostalgic tinny sound
I like the memories it carries
From its chipped enamel frame
A grandma’s hands there to rewind
Cogs ’till they bring comfort again

Thank you very much. It is a true comfort, the ticking of those clocks.
Perfect snapshot of memory. Greatly enjoyed thank you.
