SLOW DANCE
(Uit "Heartsongs", deur Mattie Stephanec, 'n kinder-kanker-pasient in ‘n
New York
se hospitaal.)
Have you ever watched the 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 move 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’s like an un-opened gift, thrown away
Life is not a race. Take it slower.
Hear the music before the song is over
