Have you ever watched kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping 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 wont 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 nest 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 frienship 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.

  1. Yes, it is a well-done poem with a valuable message


  2. I love this, and have read it before, every time it makes me stop and think of how true it is, how sometimes I rush through the day and never take time to enjoy the things around me.  How I take the little things that life has to offer for granted as if it will always be there or I will always be here.

  3. Any poem that can hit that close to home is worth every star in Heaven!!!

    Thank you for posting this...excellent!

  4. very good

  5. I saw some messages in this poem

    one of them is to slow down

    it can refer to someone who works too hard

    Another one is don't dance too fast

    which is also the same meaning

    On friendship think of one is throwing away

    getting so caught up losing track of the real life

    What this poem means is life is too short

    don't worry about the littlest things

    Live life to the fullest and enjoy life what it has to offer

    you.  

    One doesn't know what they had until they miss it and its gone.

  6. That's cool, who wrote it? Did you?
