| Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round, Or listened to the rain Lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight, Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? 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 bed With a hundred chores Running through your head? Ever told your children: "We'll do it tomorrow." And in your haste, Not seen their sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die, Because you never had time To call and say: "Hi"? 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. |
