Seize the Moment; growing up

Seize the Moment!
By L. Don Oliver

In the awakening of the night,
Darkness comes before the dawn;
Yesterday what seemed eternal,
In a blink has suddenly gone;

Then the sun lights up it's heaven,
It's life giving rays it will imbue;
Once again fresh hope is given,
As a gift that we must renew;

Never allow all your chances,
To go quickly rushing by;
They are gone in a moment,
When we never dare to try;

Never linger in the past,
Feel the beauty of each day;
Enjoyment will bring contentment,
And love will show the way;
