Perhaps you've read this before; nonetheless, it's a great reminder. My son copied it and gave it to me. Telling? Perhaps...
Slow Dance
Have you
ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
or listened
to the rain slapping the ground?
Ever
followed a butterfly’s erratic flight
or gazed at
the sun fading into the night?
You better
slow down, don’t dance too 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 better
slow down, don’t dance too fast
Time is
short, the music won’t last
Ever told
your child you will do it tomorrow
and in your
haste not seen his sorrow?
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’s like an
unopened gift thrown away
Life isn’t a
race so take it slower
Hear the
music before your song is over…
