New Beginnings
The clock struck one and away we run
Somewhat strange for a sundial
Never heard it before
Didn’t know it could speak
The clock struck two
Just me and you
Put the kettle on
Sit for a spell
The clock struck three
One more than you and me
Take a nap
Get up for the news
The clock struck four
We sit and chat some more
I share my news
You tell me yours
The clock struck five
Man alive
In the kitchen
What shall I cook
The clock struck nine
The day ceases to be
Draw your bath
Say your prayers
Wait for morning
Begin again

Love this! Filled with allusion. Man alive, a delightful read!
A new beginning every day. I liked that reference to the sundial.
I think counting the hours is good... unless it's at night and you should be asleep...
I, too, love the new beginning every day. Mornings are a great invention. Blessed by roosters. Smiles.
Marking the hours with small but meaningful daily activities...nice nursery rhyme sound to this.
And so it goes, new mornings to start again.
