Slow dance

by samantha potter   Feb 8, 2009


Slow dance have you ever watched kids on merry-go-round
or listen to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic fight or gazed the sun into the facting night.
You better slow down,
Don't dance so fast time is sort 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 sort the music won't last.
Ever told your child well 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....
