Slow Dance

New York hospital

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

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.

Life is not a

race.

Do take it

slower

Hear the

music

Before the song is

over.

I am passing this along because it hit home.

Maybe you can do the same!
