The Battery For My Clock Poem by Sookdeo Manansingh

Before the sun rises my alarm goes off
to prepare for any challenge though how tough

I plan my schedule to meet the time allotted to me
to complete every task and let my mind be free

The hands on the clock signals what's written on the wall
that I will never delay the opportunity to answer my call

Round and round the earth moves day and night
yet the position of the clock remains unchanged to the light

Without the cell on my battery coming into contact to flow
No one will understand what I want to share with them to know

The value of time is limitless to the thoughts that I sow
for everyday I keep focus on my goal to nurture and grow

From the sunlight all the energy of the earth are formed
a small battery I depend on for the world to be informed
