As is the case with poetry, first you have to read a 100 poems in order to write the 101st.... So maybe you can start with Herrick and especially Marvell (To His Coy Mistress) who celebrated this philosophy of life in their famous poems, and build on from there. Happy reading&writing!

Carpe Diem, seize the day
Live your days in your own way
Smile and cry or feel intense
And forget about Past Tense.
Future is so far away
It's too much this very day
If you don't know what to do
Be at least honest to you.
No tomorrow's like today
So be happy, seize the day.

Carpe Diem means "seize the day", in Latin I believe.

As for how to put it into a poem, that's really up to you, the poet.

I would have to say thank you for sharing this. It is serene Hope was running on fumes When sight fell from Heaven As an answer burst clear. Yes, my fog lifted, And freckles were seen On the face of my messenger For the first time
