Quote "Dum loquimur, fugerit invida Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. Translation" While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future."-Roman Poet Horace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are fortunate to have the gift of time,
You can't foresee what may occur tomorrow.
So, each day, we should have a solemn rhyme,
Living daily to avert a slippery path is hollow.
Don't wait and worry over every strife,
Leverage any opportunity to bear action.
Each of us must step out and discover life,
To fulfill our desires and reach satisfaction.
When you reckon wisely, goodness will arise,
Negative ideas tend to exacerbate woe.
Face odds that lie ahead with comprise,
Rather than just merging amidst the flow.
Time is squandered on procrastination,
Carelessly discarding instances undone.
When it comes to straightforward relations,
There is still plenty of time for leisurely spun.
A cosmic present, the current moment,
It's something to appreciate and embrace.
Opportunity prevails, yet they are opponents,
Regardless of the challenges that lie in place.
