The old grandfather clock stood in the hall <br />It kept time for us all <br />Through winter, spring, summer, fall <br /> <br />When I was young I would say <br />The big hand is on five today <br />and that's how I told time that way <br /> <br />As I progressed in age <br />Time was read in the correct usage <br />And time became more of a gauge <br /> <br />Time to go to school and learn <br />Time to work for what you earn <br />Time to leave no stone unturned <br /> <br />Time for weddings dresses worn <br />Time for children to be born <br />Time for graduation gowns adorned <br /> <br />Time for me, time for you <br />Time to see things through <br />Time for living and dieing too <br /> <br />The old grandfather clock still keeps time <br />Counting the hours that life is prime <br />So make the most or be left behind<br /><br />JoJo Bean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grandfather-clock-2/
