I wish I had a clock

I wish I had a clock with a dial

That could bring me forth to my past

And I could just touch a part of it

And could repairs a little of those broken shards.

I wish I had a clock that struck 

Every-time I fell

And the world would better know not

To come to this being of hell. 

I wish I had a clock with a voice 

That sang me a pretty song.

Songs that are pretty to hear

And songs that can give me some sleep.

So much I wish in a clock

So much I wish for I

I wish I had a clock that chimed

Every time for others I cried.

Dear one, my dear clock

I wish I had you in my hands

And yet unforgiving is time and fate

They send us on a life-long errand.
