A Poem - Why You Have To Wait

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain as it slaps on the ground?
Have you ever followed the butterfly's flight?
Or watched the moths as they follow the light?
You better slow down. Please don't dance so fast.
Time is so short - and the music won't last.

Do you go through each day like the speed of a fly,
When you ask how are you, do you hear the reply?
And when the day is all done do you lie in your bed,
With just thoughts of tomorrow, as today's ...
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain as it slaps on the ground?
Have you ever followed the butterfly's flight?
Or watched the moths as they follow the light?
You better slow down. Please don't dance so fast.
Time is so short - and the music won't last.

Do you go through each day like the speed of a fly,
When you ask how are you, do you hear the reply?
And when the day is all done do you lie in your bed,
With just thoughts of tomorrow, as today's book is read?
You'd better slow down please don't dance so fast.
Time is so short - and the music won't last.

Ever told a child, we'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste not noticed their sorrow?
Ever lost touch and let a good friendship die,
Cause you never had time to call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down please don't dance so fast.
Time is so short - and the music won't last.

We all rush so fast to get us somewhere,
And we miss half the fun of just getting there.
When you worry and hurry throughout your day,
It's like an unopened gift.... just thrown away.

Life's not a race. just take it much slower
And please hear the music before your song is over.
You'd better slow down please don't dance so fast,
Our time is so short – and the music won't last.

So pause when you think that you just Cannot Wait,
And realize each day has it's own special date,
Your moment will come, your day to depart.
Relax and look forward - with all of your heart.

NOW WAIT Razz

Pete,

But I CAN'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Life's not a race. just take it much slower
And please hear the music before your song is over.
You'd better slow down please don't dance so fast,
Our time is so short – and the music won't last."

Very apt considering all the snow dances we've done !!!!

Well Pete,
Thats up there with Rudyard, we all need to step back now and again and realise what's important. And as they say life is not a rehearsal dance so like no-ones watching, sing like no-ones listening, live like each day is your last ans ski like Didier Cuche !
