Seize the Moment

Live for today, our wisdom cries, On looking back through endless years To youthful days with mackerel skies When joy of living outweighed fears Let's seize this moment while we can Latch on to this day of life, Those inner joys shared when a man Does truly love his loving wife. Leave old age for the elderly; Let them reminisce About the past, the things they've done, The good old days they miss. With age and wisdom as our forte Let's love and laugh and roister. Our ship has finally made the port; The world's at last our oyster. Our best of times ahead still lie With greater happiness than ever. Though yesterdays have all flown by Tomorrow's dreams will last forever.
