Slow Dance

Have you ever
watched
kids
on a merry-go-round?

Or listen 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 you 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.

I found this poem on Mike Gentile's blog. He plays guitar for Hey Monday if you don't know.
He got this email.
This poem was written by a teenage girl with cancer who has 6 months to live.
Isn't this all true?
Think about what you could be missing.
