When i read this poem written by a young girl in her death bed i shed a tear, its so beautiful.


# 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 hissorrow?



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 hope this makes you think about life even for a second
