Grandfather Clock

Poem written by Josie Rasmussen, 12th grader at CHS

---

I am a grandfather clock,

A pendulum that swings assuredly.

Back and forth,

Back and forth,

Over and over.

I go back to

Where I started.

I get as far

As gravity allows,

And then I fall

Backwards.

I end up exactly

Where I started.

The beauty of assurance,

The curse of repetition.

I am unchanging.
