Slow Dance

A value for us one and all....... This poem was written by poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York. She wants to see how many people get her poem. It is quite the poem please take time and read it...

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.
 
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 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.
You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won't last..
 
Life is not a race. Do take it slower
Hear the music, before the song is over.
