Juliet Ligon Poet Verse

While You Can

While
                                      your lips
                                          can 
                                    still speak,
                               say something 
                                 sweet. While
                                         your
                                     legs can
                                         still 
                                  walk, make 
                              prints with your 
                         feet. While your eyes 
                                can still blink, 
                                       take in  
                                         life's
                                      artwork.
                                While you can 
                                      still rise,
                                           do
                                       so with
                                         perk.
