My Favorite poem

For the next week or so I'm going to add some of favorite things...
give you an insight to my very soul.

As a teenager, I was always artistic.. I enjoyed reading and writing poetry, painting, sketching, sewing barbie doll clothes, listening to music and trying to write my own, and taking photos of structures of all things..

Below was my absolute favorite Poem as a teenager. And not because of the obvious message to marry early while you can, but more for the message enjoy and live life to the fullest while you are still young.



To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
- by Robert Herrick

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse and worst
Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.
