Flawless as its glass, let my respect be,
Continuous as its ticking, let my heart beat,
Silent not to disturb,
Yet precise not to fail.
Strong as its links, let my trust be,
Subdued as its sheen, let my love be,
Neat and graceful, forever to stay,
Not shine and glitter, only to fade away.
Never too heavy to tie down your hands,
Not too flimsy to break into strands,
Slight and sure, as it clings to your wrist,
For ever and ever, let me hold your hand.
