Slow Dance!

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.
