12. Carpe Diem — Young at Heart

The day is never grey,
   So long as you enjoy
The fruit of every day
   As if you're still a boy.

Far better you will be
   To be a kid once more
By living out your glee
   With friends you still adore.

For life's an escapade
   To those who live it well;
So live—be not afraid
   Of things you shouldn't tell.

So live in bravery,
   And braving all of this,
You'll live so happily
   To live in daily bliss.
