    but in case you haven't ................



    SLOW DANCE

    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.

        Wow, that really makes me want to slow down. I actually quit my job about 4 months ago to stay home with the kiddos, but time has never slowed for me. I run all over the place, trying to be on time, and run the kids from one place to another, that I haven't even taken time to enjoy this beautiful time of year. Fall is a time of slowing down, relaxing, getting into the hibrination mode, but I can't even catch my breath!! After reading this, I will make a concious effort to slow down and enjoy my life.

        Thank you Kanga. And, how crazy is it that children are the ones to point out these amazing truths to us "grown ups" ? We need to listen to the little guys, because they already know how to enjoy LIFE!!!
