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
Dont dance so fast
Time is short
The music wont last.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask How are you, do u hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head?

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?
Cos you never had time to call and say Hi?

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there
when you worry & 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.
