Wake up Call

[rossvette]

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.

Touching story. It's also BS as far as the donation thing goes.... that statement about 'ALL FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED...' is just not true guys & gals.

I guess those emails 'spams' are good in the sense that people will sometimes sit back and think about situations in their own lives or maybe someone they know. But, what those messages really do is tie up a lot of bandwidth to ISP's and space on the hard drives of mail servers.

A message VERY similar to this one (in fact, maybe this same one) has been sent around the 'net for about as long as the www has been around. Anyone else remember when the internet was for government and universities?

Could be but a good poem with meaning. I have adjusted the thread to show the poem only. Still a wake up call to me.

Thanks Ken, Just recieved a PM regarding the same thing. But I edited the thread to show just the poem. It does still have meaning. Take the other junk out of it and read the poem makes sense to me. Oh well, live and learn.
