AFTER THE POEM.

"SLOW DANCE"

Have you ever watched kidsOn a merry-go-round?Or listened to the rainSlapping 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 dayOn 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 hissorrow?Ever lost touch,Let a good friendship die Cause you never ha d 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 slowerHear the musicBefore the song is over.------------ -------- FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.
