Feature: Don't dance so fast, the music won't last

Some years ago a friend sent me the advice which is published below. 
She said it was written by a child who was terminally ill. 
I don't know the original source. 
However the message is one that all of need to take seriously.

Slow Down, Don't Dance So Fast

Have you 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 better slow down.

Don't dance so fast

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Ever told your love

We will do it later?

And in your haste,

Let a relationship die

Cause you never had time to call and say, Hi.

You better slow down.

Dont 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.

Its like an unopened gift......Thrown away.

Is life a race to you?

Do take it slower,

Hear the music,

Before the song is over!
