'' A.M. You Forgot To Add ''

I asked my Mother,
Before she departed,
To come back and give me a sign,
If of life there's another,
Don't be half hearted,
Tell me if it's truly divine.

After a week,
She didn't respond,
But I refused to give up hope,
I continued to seek,
For what was beyond,
Rather than sit back and mope.

One night before bed,
I asked do it now,
In my head I heard, do what?
I'm not easily led,
But I questioned how,
Could this be a message she'd brought?

I said stop the clock,
At quarter past two,
I then lay awake watching time,
It came as a shock,
When my request was due,
That both clocks began to chime.

I continued my quest,
Throughout the night,
Eventually I fell into a sleep,
I needed the rest,
It was getting bright,
But soon my slumber was deep.

When I awoke,
I felt quite strange,
It was getting dark outside?
Where my clocks broke?
What could this mean,
Had my request been denied?

I headed downstairs,
It was after seven,
I must have been sleeping all day,
Was I caught unawares,
By a message from Heaven?
Had my Mother got her own way.

Both clocks had stopped,
At the time tasked,
My Mother said, no you're not mad,
I decided to opt,
For what you never asked,
