Something i wanted to share
I don't know if this is the right place to share this .. but here goes...
We were at a funeral yesterday.. For a young 21 yr old whom died of cancer.. His mother and sister our family was very close to. He was one whom during life was always making people happy and was full of laughter... Even during the funeral.. we heard laughter as stories were shared...
Anyways this poem was read and well it got to me as i find we all move just a little to fast.. Please take a moment and read it..
Slow Dance
author Unknown
Have you ever watched kids,
on a 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 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 friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say hi?
You 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 as unopened gift...
Thrown away
Life is not a race
Do take it slower,
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
I hope you slow down in life and enjoy what is there.. to many times we let the fun go ..and let the responsibilities and worries take over... i know i am bad for that...
Just my opinion
Hugs
