Coffee Break - Seize the Day

Coffee Break (Seize the day) In every tick of every clock There is a trick that follows with a tock Tick- tock, tick- tock, swing on lost pendulums To stop, to seize the day, remember to Live every day to follow death Die every day to follow life If you cry each day If you laugh each day You have lived a life worth living Seize the day if just to drink your coffee As life is sometimes hard to swallow in the coffin Created on 10/21/14 for - Seize the day (Carpe diem) - Poetry Contest
