SEIZE THE MOMENT

Seize the moment you have now,
Before it slips away ---
Leaving you with your regrets
For things you didn’t do or say.

This moment --- now --- is all we have
There may not be another ---
So let us make the most of it,
And show our love for one another.

Let’s put the past behind us ---
We cannot live it o’er,
But we can start this very moment
To do better than before.

If you love somebody --- tell them
Show them that it’s true ---
Don’t waste a single moment
God has granted you.
 

If you’ve hurt somebody ---
Be quick to make amends
Life’s much too short to sacrifice
The happiness of friends.
 

Seize the moment you have now,
Before it slips away ----
Don’t let it leave you with regrets
For things you didn’t do or say.
