A Watch is Best

I think of all the gifts to want,
Of all the things that could be;
I think of all of the good luck charms,
I want and wish for daily.

A person is forgetful,
A charm that could be lost.
Cloth and coin can wear away,
It's a watch that I have sought.

For a watch is ever truthful,
Yet has one to ever lie;
Not the watch of earthly wares, instead,
The watch that's ticking deep inside.

Your watch is forever ticking,
The watch you keep in your heart;
That watch counts on forever,
It need never stop nor start.

A watch can never take from you,
But so neither can it bring.
A watch won't ever look back, you see,
It moves on to better things.

There is instead of an object
A thing, a reason, a crest;
So that you can look to better things,
A watch is truly the best.
