SLOW DANCE

Click Here to listen to "Lord of the Dance"

We all need to be constantly reminded about what life is all about. It's so easy to allow ourselves to get into the rat race and lose our purpose and even our identity.

Remember "9 11?" There were those who were able to call home while waiting for the tower or airplane to crash. What did they talk about? It wasn't their job, their portfolio, or what was not completed. They talked about love, God, family, and friends. Don't miss out and waste your life by majoring on the minors.

To get the full meaning from the poem, substitute the word LIFE for the word DANCE because that's what the author of this poem and composer of "The Lord of the Dance" meant. You may be blessed by listening to the audio of THE LORD OF THE DANCE while you read this poem. Never forget the Lord of the Dance! Organize your dancing accordingly.

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?

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.


Here's some good advice. For smooth dancing, allow the Lord of the Dance to lead.
