Pocket Watch

Pocket Watch

A fine old pocket watch,
built with focused regard.
Devised in makers minds,
with affinity to safeguard.
The keepsake in each second,
placed in our cabinet of hours.
Hold firm during daily travel,
Sun and wind or cloudy showers.
Wind up with practiced turns,
lend your energy to usefulness.
Rely within its smooth tension,
defined details are scrupulous.

A watch stops as tension goes astray,
life marks the time and wanders away.
