Live for today

Tomorrow might as well be a lie
a gamble, stakes
a thief in disguise

he steals your independence
and in it's place
leaves avoidance

that car that rusts in your garage
the trip to the park
will forever be a mirage

carpe diem
live your life
and the american dream

    How right you are about the need to live each day to the fullest, Manouchka. We never know when all our tomorrows will be "stolen." Well said! Love, Carolyn
