VARIOUS POETS breaking reality to us...but thank life anyway, for being...
Odes of Horace:
Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero.../ Seize the day and put no trust in the future.
THOMAS JORDAN/ 1637/ Let Us Drink and be Merry...
Let's eat, drink and play
till the worms do corrupt us....
ROBERT HERRICK/ To The Virgins, To Make Much of Time...
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
tomorrow will be dying....
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE/ Twelfth Night...
Present mirth hath present laughter;
what's to come is still unsure...
Kick up your heels and dance anyway...getting my tutu back!!

Carpe diem is my adopted motto for life. It is so true, and so profound. Life is such a blessed thing, we should live it to the full whilst we can. I thank you Lyn for sharing these musings of wonderful poets, I especially liked,
