"Seize the day" J.Erwin Boak

SEIZE THE DAY

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 them a hug and show them love that is real


Say sorry to those you offended so wounds would heal


Accepting your faults is not really a big deal

.

Do it now and don't tarry lest it be too late


Sometimes it's not wise for the right time to wait


Because your plans could be ruined by fate


If you do it now you would feel really great

.

Smell the pretty flowers, listen to birds singing so gay


Enjoy the beauty of nature give yourself time to play


Remember on this earth we can't forever stay


So I tell you now is the time, go ahead and seize the day


.
