You better slow down

Have youu ever watched the kids on the merry-go-round
or
listen to the rain stomping on the ground
have youu ever watched a butterflys eternal flight or step out to the sun in the morning light
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 youu here the reply?

When the day is done do you lye in your bed
with the next hundred chores running through your head
when you worry & hurry through your day
lifes like an un-opened gift. . . thrown away
so hear the music before the song is over.
