Hear the MUZZIC, before the song is over

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.
