One day I'd like a fireplace
To place the only memento I've got
A beautiful Victorian fireplace
Upon it I would sit a clock
A clock given to my grandfather
For his service and dedication
Driving ambulances all his life
With hard work and admiration
I'd polish it's wood and turn it's dial
Carefully place it's hands
For its a special memory
And alone it would stand
I'd cast my eye upon it
Each and every day
Remembering my mothers stories
Before she passed away
You see the clock is the only thing I have of hers
Everything else was lost
As her years of self neglect
Came at a terrible cost
