As the clock the ticks
Time cannot revert
The chime of the clocks
A sound so dull
Yet so meaningful
A sound some would find soothing
The countless memories
Buried in timelessness
The clock will keep going
Just as life keeps going
The countless memories
Good or bad
Past, present or future
They are all so meaningful
It's what makes us grow
It's what teaches us lessons
We will never forget
They are what shapes us
Into who we are today
Who we will be tomorrow
It is up to us
To learn good lessons from them
It is up to us to be grateful for each
And every moment
And remember as long as we have
What we have
A shelter over our heads
Warm clothes in winter
Warm food on the table everyday
Water and education
Let us be grateful
And twirl around
Under the sky
In our rooms
As we enjoy our books and tea
Remembering there are others
Less fortunate than us
So we pray for them to be
Just as fortunate as we are
So we pray for their stomachs to be filled
Before they sleep
With delicious and nutricious food
We shed tears for them
They are stronger than us
We shed tears often
For our own dilenmas and
Tales of weal and woes
Afterall who in this world
Does not have a tale of weal and woe?
Yet we fight together
And gain hope in ourselves
Yet we keep going
Keep hoping
While holding onto the memories
The clock will go on ticking
Just as life will go on
So we should not be weak
In the face of anything
We will be stronger
We will cherish the memories
And strive to make more delicious memories as we breathe
