Slow Dance

It's been a mad rush. People having less and less time for one another.. always on the move.. doing own things and more own things.... not realizing the seconds ticking, minutes ticking, hours ticking. Life ticking.
Ceasing only for short abrupt "how have you been"s and a "I'll catch up with u soon k! real busy".. I suddenly recalled what Ammie said on Monday when I tried asking her out for dinner - oh no, I've been so pre-occupied with my own stuff...

Dedicated to all busy people out there~

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, and let a good friendship die
Cause you never had the 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's becomes an unopened gift.... that is thrown away.

Life is not a race. Do take it slower
Hear the music... Before the song is over.
