Slow Dance

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.
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 you r head?
You'd better slow down don’t dance so fast.
Time is short the music won't last. Have you 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 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.

That was awesome how this kind of had a base that you kept coming back to to remind us all to slow down and enjoy life. My new fave poem ever! Seriously make sure to let me know when you start making billions off of these poems.........I could use a small loan haha. From Regan
