I got this message from a friend this morning about a child that is dying from cancer. I just wanted to share it with everyone.


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.
