Seize the Day

Yesterday is gone,
Tomorrow isn't here,
The day that we live in,
Is what we should hold dear,
Don't disregard the future,
Or forget about the past,
Live to be the best you can,
And to make this one day last

Hi, I'm Donielle and new to the site. I really like your choice of words and it's so very true. I just hope that I could put my past behind me, and look forward to what's new. Keep the words flowing. Great piece of art! Donielle S.
