It matters that we live our life
And that we try and fail
But in the end what matters most
Is that we’ve told our tale
It matters that we learn to love
And that we win and lose
But in the end what matters most
Is that we’ve worn our shoes
It matters that we make our mark
And that we stretch and strive
But in the end what matters most
Is that we’ve been alive

Seize the Day: Favourite Inspirational Poems
This creative collection, now in its 3rd edition, brings together favourite inspirational poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology takes us on a journey through the peaks and troughs of life, celebrating the indomitable human spirit.. It includes many old favourites like “Poets Must Be” and “Chasing the Blue”, as well as brand new poems like “The Writer” and “Making Ripples”. Sages through the ages wisely say: / Carpe Diem – seize the dawning day / Oh, would that I could assuage that thirst / But the day conspires to seize me first! / With the hurry and scurry / Of home’s frantic flurry / And the hustle and bustle / Of work’s tangled tussle.
