Carpe
Diem
Events that live in infamy
Some life-changing, others life-ending
Hiroshima, the World Trade Center,
areas struck by tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes
Life that remains will never be the same
Survivors are plagued by emotions of loss and grief
Consider couples who fought over breakfast
Or parents whose last words were reprimands
A king’s ransom might be offered
For the opportunity we still have
Live without regret
Part with tender words
Express feelings every day
Love alone lives on past tragedy
