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.
