Recovery Poetry
~ Slow Dance ~
Have you ever watched the kids on a merry go round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erractic 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 in 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.
