Slow Down

Slow Down

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,

or listened to rain slapping 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 your 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 so fast,

time is short, the music won't last.

Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow,

and in your haste, not seen his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die,

'cause you never had time time to call and say "hi"?

You beter 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 a not a race, so take it slower

hear the music before the music is over.

Have a blessed and enjoyable week, everyone.
