comprehend

This is my old watch, it was old and unloved when I got it when I was about 15.
I had it cleaned and repaired and I’ve loved it ever since.
It’s just how I like things, plain, simple and beautifully made.
It stopped working a few years ago and has lain, hidden in a drawer.
Today Mandy gave me a surprise - she’s had it lovingly restored.
It takes someone special to truly comprehend

I have my dad's watch too - I wore it when I was younger until it stopped
working, I might just do the same as you. Lovely watch - nice thoughts too.

I know where you are coming from, I have as many watches as I do camera's (a significant number > 15) but my favourites are the old simple ones, you can't beat something that ticks.
