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.
Yup.. a very nice poem indeed.. realli reflects how many of us lead our life... overlooking all those small little things happening ard us.. taking things for granted... And no wonder, as we grow older true frens get fewer...we make aquaintances rather than true frens... we lose good friendships along the way juz becoz of the lousiest excuse we are too busy to say "hi".
I agree life is definitely not a race.. but like what its being stated, time is short and life is unpredictable... we are all actually racing against time... we are all greedy in nature... wanting to gain a lot in a short period of time... and when we try to see the big pictures we miss out the smallest details... we only notice it when they are juz gonna be gone...are we careless or are we juz too arrogant
We may say that we are all happy and content with our state of living.. but who dun yearn for more and yearn for a better live... And here i highlight.. humans are all self-fish, no matter what we do, it always definitely based on our own interest and goals.. we'll nv learn to see the sorrows of others.. coz we're all juz too engage loving and focusing on the way we want to live our life...
I realli wish i could slow down the pace of the way i live... but even if one can stop the clock from ticking, one cant stop the world from turning...Yup.. how ironic life can gets... I juz wish i could have more time spend with my family and frens... i realli miss those days where i juz chill out with my sec skool or even db frens at some cafe or void deck.. and slack thru out from noon till nite...having to talk and gossips about everything under the sun till moonlight...was realli cool ha
Really looking for my two weeks break in Dec... And i wan more DB circuit training.. i'm LOVING IT!!! SHIOK=)
