Take Hold of the Day

Focus your mind on the present
  The past has come and gone
Today will be bright and decent
Think of the recent heavenly bliss
And you will be blessed with a kiss
No need to worry so you won’t be sorry
    Seize the day....and enjoy it
For you know not what tomorrow holds
   Stay with the present affection
       and fear no deception
Looking upon the cool flowing stream
  Which has been your long dream.
