Do not wait until later, time is fleet,
Life's duties summon, calling us to stand,
With vigour face each challenge, not retreat,
For fleeting hours slip like grains of sand.
Each moment's breath a treasure to embrace,
In diligence, our dreams we shall pursue,
Not leaving tasks to languish, but to chase,
With fervour, till our aims come into view.
Procrastination is the thief of time,
It steals the light of day and veils the night,
Yet in our hands, we hold the power sublime,
To shape our fates with every daring flight.
So let us seize the now, with hearts so bold,
For in the present, futures are foretold.
