We have a lovely mantle clock inside our front door.
It is not only beautiful to look at, but--
Our clock has beautiful chimes to hear each hour on the hour.
But what is it really there for?
It has been years and years since we have heard the clock chime telling us the time.
We stopped winding it.
We stopped winding the clock because- you know how time goes-
Oh, so fast!-----and it doesn't last, so soon it has past.
We just felt we were spending too much time-
winding the clock to tell us what time it is by hearing a beautiful chime.
Besides, we got the chimes mixed up with the door bell, too.
So we thought not winding the clock was the best thing to do.
The clock is there because we like the way it looks.
But the bonus of the chimes we choose not to use.
Too many trips to an empty porch answering the door.
Plus time spent winding the chimes wasn't needed anymore.
But, I do miss hearing the beauty of the chimes,
Maybe we can wind the clock from time to time.
I think that would be fine.
