SLOW DOWN DON'T DANCE SO FAST



 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.


Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know.

It is the request of a special little girl.

Please send this to everyone you know...or don't know.

It was her dying wish, that she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.

She'll never make it to prom,
graduate from high school,
or get married or have a family.
