Seize the day, forget tomorrow.
Know it when you see it, take the leap.
Make the present moment felt.
Stand firm within it, it’s yours to keep.
–
Precious moments may not return,
Don’t be blinded by routine.
Validate being in the moment.
Reach out for it, when it’s seen.
–
A moment can be lost forever,
Leave all else in the past.
Give the present its wings.
Seize the now, it may not last.
–
Know the time to make it yours.
Be prepared to take and hold.
Do not take the moment for granted,
Recognise the chance, be bold.
–
There are no snares or labyrinths,
But break the shackles, if it’s needed.
Make the moment all your own,
Don’t let it pass unheeded.
–
It’s all in the beauty of the moment.
Find your voice strong and true.
There is no time like the present,
Don’t wait for it to call on you.
–
These moments are not stopped but missed,
For all of nature’s bounty is truly now.
Knowing tomorrow is never promised,
No preparation’s needed, just know the how.
–
Do not squander what it is.
Grasp it with a fervent will.
Lay claim to what is there.
It’s carpe carpe diem still!
