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.
