There are some moments
that can stand the test of time
There are some days when
I wished the clock wouldn't chime
Moments like this can fall
into the empty hourglass
labelled just a a waste of time
The man in the repair shop
who has more faces than the townhall clock
pulling fast ones till it is time to drop
Putting in batteries with a grin
saying he has fixed the watch
with all the skill acquired over many years
replacing a battery is as cheap as chips
then his bill has you reduced to tears.
Moments, endless moments captured on film
replaying your youth gets the old brain moving
capturing time in a lens then freezing the frame
moments like this are worth every penny.
