Clock has stuck midnight

No hope in anyone’s sight

Worst time of its day

Walls realigning to give way

A spectacle too sore even for its eyes

Stood a wife on the end of her ride

5 minutes its clock said

But it was too cruel, even for god of death

Death didn’t know it had a heart that showed pity

Even if it meant going against its duty

For it was not so tough

To give her minutes, thirty and a half

She opened her eyes lying on her deathbed

As the doctor rushed to her aid

Her husband ran to see her wife

Only to find along with her a new life

Clock kept on ticking in rhyme

And she kissed her precious one last time

As she knew her time was up

The clock finally struck null

All around only despair

For death that was not rare

Death couldn’t stay any longer and hence

It took its leave of absence

The mother had yet to play her role

Even if it was in the form of her soul

She followed death further and further

So that she may show gratitude from a newly made mother⁠⁠⁠⁠!
