Best Seize The Day Poems

Live each day as if it were your last
I tell you  dear friend time is running  so fast
All of us would one day return to dust
I know it's hard to accept but we must

Tell the people you love about the way you feel
Give...

I looked after an old lady and she always used to say
‘Three things never come back…
The spoken word, the sped arrow, and the neglected opportunity’
I look back on my life, yes I have regrets 
Of the things I’ve done, or I haven’t done 
The things...

The autumn sun has risen
but yet to attain high noon-
make hay, my roses fair.
I would not be happy to see you
decaying with the hasting day.
I have short time as you.
Growing too quickly to decay.
Dying as the summer’s rain-
as the pearls of morning’s dew
never to be...

Seize the day 


This Diwali night is the Festival of Lights,
A spark lend to dull and monotonous lives,

Living without friends is as if in a desert,
Souls chasing mirage, getting badly hurt,

Dr. Sonia created a group on whatsapp,
Eleven of us invited to join the app,

Sand dunes...

Nothing can separate us from God's love
Smile, hold hands with someone special
Genuinely care for others
Really inquire of their day
Walk in the mud, pick flowers
Listen to the sounds of nature
Feel the breeze on your skin
Make all those you meet, feel valued...

Throw enthusiasm into your next twenty-four hours.
Find something new to master, to learn, to study, to play with, to enjoy.

Pretend this is your last twenty-four hours.
Play like you have never allowed yourself to play before.

Today is your day, a magnificent day indeed.
Your chance to see...

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

(Earth Day, 2014)

New life emerges;
Seasons change...
fragile Earth survives another day...

We scan our universe for origins
(and endings), extending vision
ever farther, reaching for utmost limits...

So much to learn --
trial and error, trial and error
(preponderance of error)...

and new life emerges. 
Fragile Earth
survives another day....

Don’t look back with regret
The time is gone and
There’s no reason to fret
Don’t look toward tomorrow
It might not ever come
There’s no reason to foreknow
Look to the moment
Live in the present tense
Seize the day –  the poignant
And you will forever stay
Filled with delight and insight
The...

Coffee Break  (Seize the day)

In every tick of every clock
There is a trick that follows with a tock
Tick- tock, tick- tock, swing on lost pendulums
To stop, to seize the day, remember to 
Live every day to follow death
Die every day to follow life
If you...

Yesterday is gone,
Tomorrow isn't here,
The day that we live in,
Is what we should hold dear,
Don't disregard the future,
Or forget about the past,
Live to be the best you can,
And to make this one day last...

Some chances, come once in a lifetime
It is important to seize the day
If you don't you'll be filled with regret
As you watch goodfortune go away

Yes it's true, hindsights twenty twenty
If only you had taken that chance
When it comes to luck you make your own
Stop waiting,...

Carpe Diem is a Latin phrase,
Its meaning, 'seize the day'.
Strength and courage are the golden rules
To make this statement pay.

Avarice and greed can soon destroy
The path you wish to tread.
Take some counsel from a higher source;
The wisdom inside your head.

Make sure each day that you...

Jump in that puddle.  Make mistakes. Jump toward the edge. Hang on by your knuckles.
Dare yourself! 
Get muddy!
Laugh your truth. Make fun of the ridiculous.  Call them out. Live your life.
Stand in the rain.
Be yourself.
Every second of every day, no matter how mad...
