Slow Dance

Something I read today:

"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 don't understand.....

 

I don’t understand how you can smile all day long but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change but the people in them do. how your best friend can become your worst enemy, or how strange it is when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you would do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know something is best for you, it hurts the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much to spare. How people make promises despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives just because it’s easier than working things out.
