Time is short.

I am still young. I have time left in my life but it is not as much as most would like to believe. I have learned in my short life that you cannot take things for granted. I have 2 beautiful children who have become the only important beings in my life. They grow so fast and I am just starting to understand the importance of slowing down to take pleasure in the little things they do everyday. I found this on-line and I have no idea who wrote it but I love it and for that resign I am going to share it with you.

Have you ever watched kids on a merry go round?
Or listened to 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 wont 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 better slow down.Don't dance too fast.
Time is short.The music wont last.
Ever told your child "we'll do it tomorrow."
and in your haste, not seen his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,let a good friendship die.
Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi".
You better slow down.Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.The music wont last.
When you run so fast getting somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
it's like an unopened gift......Thrown Away!
Life is not a race.Do take it slower.
Hear the music......before the song is over.
