An Angels Prayer

This is a forwarded message from a friend and I change the title. This is a poem composed by a teenager with cancer. It reminds me that sometimes we have to stop because we miss some important things in life that we can only experience when we make our life in a normal pace.

Slow Dance

Have you everwatched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened tothe rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed abutterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fadingnight?

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'tlast.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
Youmiss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopenedgift....T
hrown away.
Life is not arace.
Do take it slower
Hear themusic
Before the song is over.
