Now

Paul Gerard Reed

"While life is in us,

Let's love all we can"

from 'White Dress' by Fairport Convention, 1975

 

This is the only chance 

We are going to get

The only dance to dance,

The only test we are set;

 

We take part in one race

With one finishing line

Afterwards not even a trace

Nor any mortal sign;

 

So live life the only way

That any of us know how,

Live life just for today

For all we have is now.

    So true even if one believes in reincarnation or resurrection or whatever it is the only life we have as us here and Carpe diem I say. A lovely message said poetically
