Carpe Diem

Oh! May I make each moment of my life a gem,

Flawless and brilliant, blazing with white flame,

Glowing with red, burning with blue, yet all the same

In brilliance. So in old age when I look back on them

Their blaze combined may turn life to a diadem.

Or may I turn each moment to a flower,

Those of seclusion violets, mistry, rare,

Moments of passion roses, lilies for those of prayer,

That when I come to my last fading poppied hour

On looking back my fragrant life may seem a bower.
