slow down for my grandmother...

my grandmother passed away today...and im doing okay...im more worried about my sisters and mother than me...this poem should be a life's lesson to us all...i basically wanted to convey that life goes really fast...and we should slow down to visit each other...to help each other and to love each other...

SLOW DOWN

Slow Down 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?
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.
