S L O W   D A N C E

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
lapping 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
Time is short
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
To call and say "Hi"?
Don't dance so fast
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to
 get somewhere
You miss half the fun of
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.

PLEASE pass this on to
everybody you
 know.  It is
 the request of a
little girl who will soon leave
 this world,
 as she
has been a victim of a serious
 and fatal form
of cancer.
 Please send
 this
to everyone you know. This little
girl has 6
months left to live, and as her
 dying wish,
 she wanted to
send a  letter telling everyone to
 live his or her life to
fullest, since she never will.
She'll never
 make it to
 prom,  graduate
 from
high school, or get married and
 have a family
 of   her
 own.

Yes
Life Is Too Short

I lost my husband last summer.
Little did we know that right after lunch he would be gone forever...One minute we were talking, the next minute
I watched helplessly as he took his last breath.
***
My Aunt woke up and Found my Uncle had died in his sleep. We always know we are going to die, but not now, not today,not this season, nor this year..this moment...not now.
***
A friend kissed his wife good-bye, saying I will see you in a little while... She never made it home...she was hit by a train...their 12 year old daughter is in critical condition...
***
A close friend was fixing his wife's car.
The children came home from school to find their dad gone, crushed by the weight of the fallen car...
***

One does not fully understand life..
until it hits home, and your heart is torn into
little pieces...
The agony of wishing things could
of been  different ~
All the "If Only's" the  'Guilt'
The feelings of helplessness~
Does not matter...
We are predestined to leave this world~
no one gets out alive..

                    So
                Stop
                      To
                           Smell
                               The
                                     Roses....

Let everyone you love, know how you feel
Live each day as if it was your last.
If  we were to write our own
'obit' what would we say ?
Please take a moment now
to remember those who have left before us,
though they are gone, their memories still
linger on.
And help me in prayer to remember
this little girl who wants so much to get her
message to the world.
Don't Dance So  Fast...
