The Clock

No monuments. No headline. Just the moments I gave to people who needed them. Turns out that's enough. Took me a while to believe that.

And the clock goes….Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick The clock moves faster with every year Shrinking road, heavy thoughts A horizon unclear And I made no mark No kids to carry this name I own No bloodline tethered Yeah I'm walking alone Will they forget me when I'm not around? A whisper lost, no echo, no sound I got fears of being just a passing phase A fleeting moment in this worlds grand maze Not all legacies are for the world to see Some are written in hearts, quietly I've shaped a life, not for crowds to applaud But for those who felt my kindness, flawed Generations of trust in my hands Lives uplifted, small but grand And no, there won't be history books with my name But hey I shared my time And I played this game And the clock goes….Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick Every moment's gone too quick No way to pause, can't make it stick Some build legacies brick by brick While All I built was gone so quick So maybe it's fine if I fade with dust Not every story's carved or just The love I gave, the souls I've known That's legacy enough Who cares if it's not shown I shared a thousand moments in quiet ways Didn't need No spotlight to brighten those days Every life I touched, sparked joy that stays Fading slow, but it softly sways Let others chase glory in their fight I found peace in smaller things that felt equally right No houses build, no flags to wave Just shared a laugh, some hands I gave No trophies no milestones I tried to define But in moments spent with heart and mind So when the final tick fades from the air I'll rest easy- Knowing I was there And the clock goes….Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick Every moment's gone too quick No way to pause, can't make it stick Some build legacies brick by brick While All I built was gone so quick There's a weight in wanting more To leave a mark on some distant shore But the mirror shows what I've yet to see The lives I've changed were enough for me I feared the silence, the fading light But walked my path and it felt right Legacy's not just blood and name It's the love we give, not chasing fame Not a monument carved in stone But the moments we claim, the lives we've known I've made my mark in silent ways And I wouldn't trade these humble days If I could do it all, I'd choose the same No louder legacy, no louder name The time I gave, the love I shared That's my story, written and spared I've lived my truth, in joy and pain- And I'd do it all again And the clock goes….Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick Every moment's gone too quick No way to pause, can't make it stick Some build legacies brick by brick While All I built was gone so quick And the clock goes….Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick ,Tick Tick…
