Constance La France Poet Carpe Diem

Notes About The Poem

Behold,

the fowl of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather in barns;  yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.  Are you not much better than they?

The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Chapter 6:26

Carpe Diem - Each Breath

 
Live each day and each precious moment,
like it is your last and your last breath of life;
for tomorrow is not promised-  we have heard this,
life can be gone in the blink of an eye, in a flash;
let all your resentments and your failures go,
do not take take them into your new existence;
be it heavenly or some other realm you believe in,
yes, live each day like the birds in the trees;
happy for just one more day, to sing and fly.
