Embracing the Now
Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)
To propel forward through the ticking of years,
Embracing this moment,
These joys, these cheers,
A forward march into the future so vast,
Life seems to be challenging now,
No safety nets from, What's next? Or Who knows how?
But joyfully my dreams must be chased,
The present, for now, is my special place.
Who knows what adventures await?
Maybe new heights will be reached before it's too late?
The future holds promise, in its own unique way,
Time to seize each moment, every day.
