Carpe diem

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying."
-Robert Herrick

Seize the day
And make it last
Since you never know
How long your joy will last

Seize the day
And hold it close
Because faster and faster
The time goes

Seize the day
And take your time
Because you don't know
what tomorrow brings
What hills you'll have to climb

Seize the day
And remember to
stop and smile
Because tomorrow
May bring
More trials

  1. Ruby- That is so true. Even though we should take a look down the road so we don't act rashly, we should fill our hearts with the today and now. I love the rhythm of your poems. Great work!
