Slow Dance

Have you ever
watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so
fast
Time is short.
The music won't
last
Do you run through each day
On the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so
fast
Time is short.
The music won't
last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't
last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
It is like an unopened gift...
Thrown away.
Life is not a
race
Do take it slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is over.
