Carpe Diem!: A Poem

Eva  Gallant
The time is now to seize the day;

Mustn't wait 'til old and gray.

Make the most of the time you're given;

Too late at death, to think of livin.'

The grave's no place to take regrets,

Live for now; don't hedge your bets.

Kiss your kids, and love your spouse,

For without them, you've just a house!

Do it now, that dreamed of deed;

Don't hesitate-take the lead.

Is there one for whom you care?

Tell them now 'fore Gabriel's blare.

The time is now, to seize the day,

Mustn't wait 'til old and gray;

Make the most of time you're given;

Death's no time to think of livin.'

    These days we are seizing seem so much shorter now.
