Right Now

Time hears when you wish it away,

When you impatiently wait for the end of the day.



Times knows when your week's just begun,

And you already wonder when Friday will come.



Don't be so eager for each moment to pass

You can never quite tell if your next minute's your last.



Love being alive; every heartbeat, every breath.

Because each second that goes by gets you closer to death.



Adore every friendship; each smile, laugh, and hug.

Appreciate every sunrise, every flower, every bug.



Tell everyone you love them, show them that you care.

Never wait for later, what if later isn't there?



Do what you can to live out all your dreams.

Do whatever makes you happy no matter how silly it seems.



Take nothing for granted and don't let time slip away

In each moment there's a mircle, so cherish everyday.

This poem is the first that has captured me. The simple words but such strong feelings hits close to home. Every day, every moment should be cherish and lived to the fullest. It is such a beautiful poem, you should be very proud of it.

The third and fourth line really got my attention cause its like you read my mind. I'll remember this beautiful poem next time I have such foolish thoughts.

Good work. This is one of my favorite themes, the fleeting, unpredictable nature of life.

I particularly liked "Never wait for later, what if later isn't there?"
