Carpe Diem! Seize the day!
This gifted 24 hours, do not waste;
Opportunity is knocking, now is the time,
Answer now, do so in haste.
Tomorrow's not promised, guaranteed not,
The future uncertain, not sure;
Now's all you have, today's yours to own,
Muster courage to walk through that door.
Our children's children, and their children in turn,
Will reap the fruit of our decision now;
The difference, the change, choose to be,
Do not the loss of this moment allow.
Missed opportunities of yesterday,
Forever gone, irretrievable, lost;
Friend, fret not about what cant be changed,
Instead, of today, right now, make the most.
A hurting brother, is now needing joy,
A broken sister, requires a lift;
That word of healing lies in your heart,
That encouragement is yours to gift.
Look around, you shan't need to seek very far,
Opportunities for good, before you lay;
So difference-maker, world-changer rise up strong,
Carpe Diem! Seize the day!
