Seize the Day

Cameron DeMarsh 2004 (ontario)



Lost are we,

To the tolls of our lives.

Struggling every day to see the world through a separate set of eyes.

The world is bleak, until you can find.

A thing in your life that can excite the mind.

Follow thy bliss, and then can find.

The world around you starts to shine.

Live life to the fullest,

And then.

We can see.  

Cape diem, Oh Captain my captain

Seize the day, Oh captain my captain
