The Clock of Life

The clock of life is wound but once,
and no man has the power to tell just
when the hands will stop,
at late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own,
live, love, toil with a will,
place no faith in “tomorrow”
for the clock may then be still.
-Written by Emma Thorne
in Bible given to her by
her daughter Jessie in 1912.
