Show your love while it is day Gift your moments to the one you love Night comes, time fades away
Find hours for shared work and carefree play Do not be left wanting for more Show your love while it is day
Take care with what you say Speak words that encourage, esteem, restore Night comes, time fades away
Every whim to give love, obey Any urge to be unkind, ignore Show your love while it is day
To get time back you may pray When life’s circumstance closes the door Night comes, time fades away
Build memories that stay You will rejoice in that treasure store Show your love while it is day Night comes, time fades away
This poem is so touching, so reflective. Your repeating line deepens the meaning as I read through. Beautiful!
Wonderful, touching, necessary! My favorite line is: Build memories that stay! Thank you for sharing this.
Lovely and your words fit well in this form. “Every whim to give love, obey.
Any urge to be unkind, ignore.” Beautiful advice.
The repeating lines were so beautiful and effective to really get it into the head of the reader how important it is to “Show your love while it is day” because “Night comes, time fades away”
Such an important life lesson that is easier said than done at times. Bravo.
Having done one myself I take my hat off to you – it is a challenging poem form. Well done!
I too love the repeated lines, very full of meaning.
Welcome to the secret vilanelle society. What a beautiful message along with the easy flowing rhyme. Great job!
