slow dance

Have you ever listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

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 a 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"

Life is not a race. Do take it slower.
