Seize the Day
You look at things differently when you are old
And should do things when you have the chance,
For maybe you won’t get to act on the plans
You have made way too far in advance.
Surely some opportunities won’t come again;
You must grab them, no matter the cost,
Or you’ll wake up one day and you’ll realize, too late,
That the moments you’ve craved have been lost.
Time is fleeting and more so as decades add up
And the years you have left start to fade.
Every chance that you miss offers no second shots;
Possibilities can’t be delayed.
