I’ve come to realize I must seize the day
so that I may cherish my night;
put all of my plans to work, make them pay
then in the dusking, take you in my sight.

Seize the day, take a stand,
in the gloaming, you’ll take my hand;
I’ll go forth in the sunshine, go one step more
so in the twilight, you’ll come toward my door.

I’ll work not feverishly, but with strength and fortitude
so during later hours, there’s a change of attitude.
But in the dawning and nooning thus
I’ll put myself forth without a fuss.

Knowing that I have you to cherish with me the night
you’ll take me in whole, you’ll wrap me up tight.
In your arms I’ll know such furious delight
Thank God I seized the day to get to tonight!

Wow, inspiring. I guess since it's night it's time to cherish, but then what am I doing here? I know there's more captivating cherishing I could be doing.

The title says it all...this could have been a one-line poem!
