Slow Dance

A lesson for all of us...Its beautiful and I try my best to not be the rule...maybe life's taught me this the hard way - yes, life is not only work or fun or any one thing but a bouquet of everything, all being only a part of life, do all that your heart wants, try to be as good as you can, as helpful as you can and leave the rest to God, after all you can only do so much...Enjoy this poem, it really sums up life in very simple words...

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 s low 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 somewhereYou 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.
