Have Fun And Carpe Diem Poem by Hebert Logerie

As long as you're living, you should have fun
As long as you're breathing, walk, laugh and run
Be as optimistic as you can, even when it's raining
Be happy and content when it's cold and snowing
Always make the very best of your days and nights
Enjoy life, carpe diem, and fight, fight for your rights.

As long as you're standing, be brave, witty and courteous
As long as you're thinking, be fair, just and magnanimous
Life is full of shocks and surprises. Human beings are like ants
They work hard. At the end, they'll leave with a pair of pants
A jacket or a dress ripped in the back, a few smiles behind
And a group of people weeping if they're honest and kind.
