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...

Väl värd att läsa ofta tycker jag. Fick den via mail precis. Den sägs vara skriven av en cancersjuk tonårstjej som har 6 månader kvar att leva på ett sjukhus i USA. Vet ej om det är sant eller inte, men det spelar inte så stor roll egentligen, poängen kommer tydligt fram.


När tog du en paus och stannade upp för ett tag sist? För mej var det när jag flydde till mitt paradis, Resö (där bilden även är ifrån), på nationaldagen. Alldeles för sällan jag gör sådant!!
