During this very busy time of year sometimes I need a reminder to slow
down, stop trying to hurry. Maybe you do too sometimes. *smiles* I
liked
this reminder and I am passing it along to you.
Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-around, or listened to rain
slapping 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, 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, 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
seen 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, so take it
slower, hear the music before the song is over.
