My happy clock

I had a clock as a kid
which did not work
not even a bit
I mean
for which
time never passed
not even a tick

what a useless clock
a worthless piece of metal
you would say
but for me it was dear
with whom
I would spend
my entire day

A day would end
but for us
it would stay still
then I grew
but it stayed same
timeless and still

I do remember it
for we spent together
many a happy time
it wasn’t as useless
as everyone thought
because it had a happy chime
