She moves through places time forgot, Where iron bleeds and hinges rot. Most would turn and walk away, But love, you choose to stay. You run your hands along the rust, Not with disdain, but quiet trust. You do not flinch, you do not fear— You know that beauty lingers here. A broken chain, a weathered nail, A lock long lost to rain and hail— You lift them up, you see their worth, You press them back into the earth. And love, I watch—I always do, Not just the work, but all of you. How in your touch, the wreckage glows, How even ruin somehow knows. That rust is not the end of things, But proof of all the time they’ve seen. That love is not untouched, unscarred, But something worn, yet standing hard. So if I break, if I erode, If time should wear me to the bone— I know with you, I won’t decay,

Si Timey Tommy ay isang mabait na batang orasan na mahilig tumulong sa iba upang malaman ang tamang oras. Isang araw, habang naglalakad siya sa parke, may nakita siyang isang batang nagngangalang Lia na nalilito sa kanyang orasan. "Timey Tommy, paano ko malalaman kung anong oras na?" tanong ni Lia. Ngumiti si Timey Tommy at sinabi, "Madali lang ‘yan! May dalawang kamay ang orasan. Ang maikling kamay ay para sa ORAS, at ang mahabang kamay ay para sa MINUTO!" Ipinakita ni Timey Tommy ang kanyang sariling mukha na hugis-orasan. Ang maikling kamay niya ay nakaturo sa 8, at ang mahabang kamay niya ay nakaturo sa 12. "Kapag ang mahabang kamay ay nasa 12, ito ay tinatawag na ‘O’clock’! Ibig sabihin, ang oras ay 8:00!" paliwanag ni Timey Tommy. "Ah! Kaya pala! Kapag ang maikling kamay ay nasa 3 at ang mahabang kamay ay nasa 12, ibig sabihin ay 3:00!" tuwang-tuwang sagot ni Lia. "Tama! Ngayon, handa ka nang malaman ang tamang oras!" sabi ni Timey Tommy. Mula noon, hindi na nalilito si Lia sa pagbabasa ng orasan. Lagi niyang naaalala ang sinabi ni Timey Tommy: “Ang maikling kamay ay para sa oras, at ang mahabang kamay ay para sa minuto!” ________________________________________
