Winding the Clock What fascination holds a little mind To want to help in winding of the clock Could it be the pendulum that swings Or clicking of the ticking and the tock A mechanism mesmerizes eyes Tightening the springs to make it chime A weekly chore that little boys adore And cherish fondly in the course of time Allowing little hand to lightly push The pendulum into it’s rhythmic swing Brings Grandfather so close to little boy In weekly ritual their spirits sing Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 10-31-2000).] |

sounds like something my grandfather would have done with my sons if he were still around. great way to spend family time together and this poem is just another reminder of how precious are the ones that we love. good job. P. J. Kotrch carpe diem A soul once touched is a soul once blessed by love |

Oh and what a ritual it is Liz!!! Heaven help us if the weights get too low, or those chimes slow down around here. Sweet memories of precious moments. Bonnie |

Boys like to be busy with their hands, so I can just see the faces of anticipation! Loved this one! Deb |
