AFTER THE POEM.




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.

really really excellent Ally, I'm a little sad now cause theres a lot of things in this that I do :( will have to slow down :)
 
Sorry Anto,did not mean to make you sad.As i said before e mails i get
from some wonderful people.How true they are i do not know,just like to share
e mails with Community at Techkings.
 
No probs Ally keep sharing them, no just sad to think we all do these things and really are wishing/rushing our lifes away:)
 
Very touching.....i have daughters myself and as a parent you do the very best you can for them you would die for them but when something like allys post happens its heart wrenching cause it makes you think if you were in that position both as a parent and of course the child. :(
 
No comment necessary really, that poem said it all.

Thanks for sharing it Ally.

Thanks for sharing that one. Sometimes we need a real reminder.
