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.

"When water is clear, the moon is reflected. When the wind blows, the trees shake.
Our minds are like the water. Faith that is weak is like muddy water,while faith that is brave is like clear water."


"The key to happiness is to build a strong and invincible spirit, the wisdom to create value out of everything, and a vibrant self brimming with hope and joy."

we all recieve alot of stuff through our mail, and i noe alot of ppl have received the slow dance poem before, like me i hv recieved it countless of times, but no matter how many times i recieve it, when i read it again, i feel something stir in me, though it's oni a little but hey it's a touching poem, slow down, don't dance so fast :)

to me the poem translates as saying tat, we hv to take life one step at a time and don't rush, we have to make time for our family & frens, and we do hv to call ppl up once in awhile to communicate, relationships are about communication neway hahah, and well don't always break promises, and always delay promises.. hahah this especially applies to a certain someone, and well a bit to some ppl hahha...(guess it applies to me in some way too? hahha) when u make a promise to somebody don't just conveniently forget it, or indulge urself in other businesses till u forget ur other frens, anyway... tat fella doen'st come here anymore, so no point me saying to much here hahah...

neway, just wanna say, love all u guys tat still come here hahah.. and thanks for everything :)
