I was inspired to write this poem by the movie "The Dead Poets Society".

Carpe Deim And Sieze The Day

Carpe deim and sieze the day,
Furthermore, gather ye rose buds while you may.
For remember that this very day,
Today may be the first day,
The first of your last days.

So fear not death,
But face it with your every breath.
For this breath you breathe,
This very breath,
This one may be the breath that brings you to death.

So live this life you've built,
And promise yourself that ne'er shall this land wilt,
For what must happen wilt,
So let not your soul be trodden with guilt.

Now, again I say, "Carpe deim and sieze the day
Furthermore, gather ye rosebuds while you may,
For remember that this very day,
Today may be the first day,
The first of your last days."

"So fear not death"

Yet it is that fear of death
absolutely that drives us on
to leave something of ourselves
before we are gone

That happens to be my favorite movie as well, and if you will notice I use that saying, as my signature, alway have since the movie.

Enjoyed your poem and glad the movie inspired you.
