Don't Wait Poem by Vanessa Dizon Alvarez

Give it your best, don't wait for the day
When skies are clear or doubts fade away.
The moment is now, the fire is here
So chase that dream, ignore the fear.

You can't save strength for future skies,
Or borrow time when courage dies.
Today's the spark, the golden chance
So rise, begin, and take your stance.

Start that idea, make it real,
Say what you've felt, reveal, reveal.
Reach for the friend you've missed so long,
Sing your truth like a battle song.

The future's lovely, soft and wide,
But action lives on today's side.
So don't delay, don't second guess
This is your time. Give it your best.
