- Seize the Day -

Always there
in my heart
Every thought
fills me
with many emotions

The future holds
promises
and expectations
Hopes
and sorrows
As common
pleasures
that life brings

Life is
loving
and beautiful
Open your
eyes
Smell, see
and feel
Smile
and cry

This is more
than I ever
could imagine
Is what keeps me alive
