Seize the day

Just a moment in this lifetime,

Just a tragedy ahead,

Not knowing where each turn will lead,

Within seconds we might be dead,



Live each day to the fullest,

Do not stop to wonder why,

Do everything what your heart desires ,

In dreams, reach for the sky,



Surprises at every stop sign,

With its share of wrong ways & dead-ends,

Statistics don’t help you with the future,

They only tell you where you‘ve been,



With so many people among us,

There are no certainties,

& all it takes is just one person,

To reroute history,



Don’t waste one single moment,

How very precious that they are,

What seems a long way off,

It is really not that far.

Teal is one of my favorite poets. She lived every day to the fullest & inspired everybody else to do the same.
Hats off to her...!!!
