You'd Better Slow Down

 

  Have you ever watched kids playing

on a merry go round,

or listened to the  rain lapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,

or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

 

 

  You'd better slow down

  Don't dance so fast

  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

  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

  Because you forgot

  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.
