Natasha L Scragg Poet Rhyme

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem!
Seize the day!
Don't hold back
And don't delay!

Reach out. Reach in.
Be a force for good.
Don't just act because
You think you should.

Don't let a day pass
Without showing you care.
Never fail
To be there.

Positive things
Will happen for you
If you Carpe Diem
Your whole life through.

Work for dreams.
Walk the path ahead.
Don't lose heart.
Gain yourself instead.

When you're where
You want to be.
You'll explain 
Quite happily

That things went well
For you this way
Because you chose to 
Seize the day!

Caren Krutsinger January 5, 2022 at 1:19 PM Excellent advice "Work for dreams. Walk the path ahead. Don't lose heart. Gain yourself instead." Natasha L Scragg January 5, 2022 at 1:29 PM Aw thanks Caren. It's sometimes good to think about our personal interpretation of what these phrases mean. With phrases like this, there's no wrong way of applying it. :-D

Ron Natasha L Scragg January 5, 2022 at 1:27 PM Aw thanks Ron. I'm afraid I stole the phrase from Dead Poets Society (movie) absolutely loved the way it was put across. It's inspirational and can be applied from so many angles. :-D
