I remember when I was little and going to my grandparents house;
I would sit in there living room, where it was quiet as a mouse;
My Grandpa own 4 grandfather clocks and over me they tower;
I would sit in that living room waiting for the top of the hour;
I knew that when the hand hit 12, even before I knew how to tell time;
That all 4 grandfather clocks, would play Wind mister chime;
When all of them played the sound was quite so grand;
Every top of the hour in that living room I would stand;
Now that I am an adult, hanging on my wall;
I have a clock that every hour takes me back
 to when I was small.
