please take the time to read this, it's truly great.
poem by a cancer patient:
have you ever watched kids on a merry go round?
or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
ever follow a butterfly's erratic flight, or
gazed at the sun in into the fading night?
you'd better slow down, don't dance too 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 too 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 too 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 though the day,
it is like an unopened gift...thrown away.
life isn't a race.
do take it slower. hear the music, before it's over.
