Good Morning..
Up quite early, had lots running thru my little head. So excited, my brother came to visit for a few days. Visited our parents and is helping us clean out the house. It's always good to spend time with him.
So peeping about the blogs I love, I came across this little Poem that Melissa Phillips had posted. It just hit the spot and I wanted to share it. If you are not a follower of Melissa stop over to her sweet blog. Always some tender things to touch one's
S L O W D A N C E:
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round?
on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
The music won’t last
Do you run through each day
On the fly
On the fly
When you ask “How are you?”
Do you hear the reply?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
running through your head?
You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
The music won’t last
Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Let a good friendship die
‘Cause you never had time
To call and say “Hi”?
To call and say “Hi”?
You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Don’t dance so fast
Time is short
The music won’t last
The music won’t last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift….Thrown away…
It is like an unopened gift….Thrown away…
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
Before the song is over.
by David L. Weatherford

Words to live by my friend!
In this day and age, it seems so easy to get wrapped up in the details of the day and not the day itself. It's always the next thing on the list that runs through my mind. Thanks for sharing this poem... truer words couldn't have been said! Enjoy that special time with your brother. You're making memories!!
