Carpe diem, or seize the day.
They both mean the same thing.
To wake up and know, how you succeed
could change with anything.
How you seize the day could depend
on what you bring with you.
Be it smarts, joy, strength, beauty
or your cousin from Peru.
It could depend on how you act,
your thoughts or attitude.
It could depend on what you see,
or if you feel the need to be rude.
How would I seize the day, you ask?
My answer may seem too free.
But I would merely embrace the day
that God has placed in front of me.
