Seize the Night

Things will work out 
tomorrow
just not on their own
every dog may have it's day
IF
they remember 
to bury the bones

Each star above
is yours
BUT 
you must envision the glow
seize the night 
and give the day you've borrowed
a beautiful show

Joey, I especially liked the second stanza. Very lovely. I really envy you being in Florida. Not just in winter! I'd love to be by a beach!!

Don't know if I'm an auger. But maybe I'm a cougar. hahaha. Your comments to me were fun as usual. You may not be on drugs, but you seem to go way up and then you are gone for a while. What's up with that??Ok, let me read this one now!!

Good job JS. I liked it a lot. In fact, I read it through several times before writing the comment. Rockman
