Seize The Day

“So like a child, find each day's joy; say carpe diem, and enjoy.” by_Poet
Yes, carpe diem- “seize the day”- is what those words convey; to make the most of every chance- to live life's song and dance. The years seem long, but time is short a sin to waste, abort the life we wish to fill our dreams which happiness redeems. Each day that passes is a gift of space that grants a lift to form and mold into a prize great joy before our eyes. Tomorrow might be whisked away- so cherish every day, to live each one through rain or shine; this gift of life- so fine.
