Notes About The Poem

Make Hay and Seize the Day

Make Hay and Seize the Day
It's so true that time doesn't wait for you
tarry at your peril
For all too soon we're beyond the moon
having lost life’s mettle.

If loves young dream was ne'er heard nor seen
do not hang up the ghost
Desire ye marry, do not tarry
drink to love with a toast.

All our yesterdays are flown too soon
tomorrow's the unknown
Pray Cupid with his bow and arrow
finds a beau of thine own.

So amass violets while you may
don't waste anymore days
Love will bloom and it's fragrant perfume
will follow you always.

Open up your heart without delay
make hay and seize the day.

I think the older we get, most of us realize how quickly it can end…no matter what age we are….not one of us has a lock on being alive tomorrow I know how we put things off at times. Like being unwilling to call a friend?? It takes too much time?Texting is not communicating.reminds me of brush off comments.

I agree we should call our family and friends, if we only had the time… Belle xo
