Seize the Day

Don’t look back with regret The time is gone and There’s no reason to fret Don’t look toward tomorrow It might not ever come There’s no reason to foreknow Look to the moment Live in the present tense Seize the day – the poignant And you will forever stay Filled with delight and insight The quest for which you pray
