Carpe diem

128 words·1m read
(Seize the day; tomorrow may be too late)

Through the vein of our bleeding case,
We mark our plans and plot our course
For the day yet to come.
A moment we live, but very brief,
Lost in the desires of a wishful dream,
While today we stake,
Carpe diem, dear friend.

Carpe diem, dear friend.
Live now and live today,
Take it slow if you may,
Every second now
Births a morrow you can't wish away;
To not live now
Is to have not lived at all,
Carpe diem, dear friend.

Carpe diem, dear friend.
Today is another day,
Live not in haste
Nor as a sluggard
with time to waste,
Carpe diem, dear friend,
Only God knows your end,
Carpe diem, dear friend.
