Carpe Diem

See it,
Believe in it,
Breathe it,
Live it,
Cherish it.

The now is all we have, so grasp it...
and hold tight and please don't forget 

To forget is to die and to die is to be no more
Yes, no more of this world with nothing else to come... 
only what was before

Eat with the mindset that there is someone who 
is without
So be compassionate, grateful and never form
your lips to pout

Work hard,
Play hard,
and sleep well.

Going for broke is the ticket so have no regrets
as we try, no matter how often we may fail

Be pleased with the day, for tomorrow may never
come

So smile,
Give a hug,
and let love be number one.
