NMAMBC #25: “Carpe Diem, You Betcha!” (Alternate)

Migraine Awareness Month #25: “Carpe Diem, You Betcha!” (Alternate to: “Through My Children’s Eyes”)

“Tell us about a time when you truly seized the day”

I believe that Migraineurs and the chronically ill seize the day every day. Most of those days would have to be described as tributes to perseverance, effort, courage… guts. Some days, just existing feels like the battle of a lifetime; everything is…effort.

This is my tribute poem to the soldiers of chronic illness:

When the crest you’re riding

Seems to abate.

Observe: there’s the next one;

The chance – you cannot wait!

**********************************************************************

Each and every wave

An eternity seems;

It’s actually just a blink

Rushing by – your dreams.

***********************************************************************

Each moment that passes

Will not remain;

Your life, don’t squander –

Those memories you’ll retain.

***********************************************************************

It takes courage to process

These moments, so glaring.

Forever is waiting –

You, yourself – must be daring.

***********************************************************************

Live it, seize it –

The world, it is a dance.

Your goal… eternity;

Everything left, save chance.
