Live by this.

I hope you all take the time to read the following. It
was written by a cancer child in her last few hours to live.


YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN.

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 thru you head?

YOU 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 haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a good friendship go because you never had time to call and say Hi?

YOU 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 So take it slower.

HEAR THE MUSIC
BEFORE THE SONG IS OVER.
