Tick Tock
By Laura Zucca-Scott
The clock is ticking
At the end of a long day
Where all certainties
Are lost
Many battles
Yet to come
So many tears
Still to shed
I would be lost
Without your smile
And the future
Just a rubble
My Dad once told me
A clock is a gateway
To infinity
And possibilities
Today
It is your laughter
My chance
For hope
So sorry for your loss. I know Paul is your chance for todays laughter.
