The Old Meeting House Clock

Lester Heritage
Mickleton MM

The old clock hangs on the Meeting House wall,
How long it has been there, no one can recall.
It’s a comforting sound it hear its tick and its tock,
It gives one the impressing it’s as solid as a rock.
It wouldn’t ask for much if it could speak,
All it needs to exist is to be wound once a week.
Think of the stories the old clock could relay,
As it oversees Quaker Meetings on every First-day.
I’m sure it has witnessed over the years,
Many happy events and some that brought tears.
Let’s hope the old clock continues to stay fit,
Meetings wouldn’t seem the same if we ever lost it.
