Don't Forget to Live

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain plopping onto the ground?
Have you ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
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 at least 100 tasks running through your head?
Have you ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow."
And in your haste, not seen his sorrow?
Have you ever lost touch & let a good friendship die?
Just take a moment to call to say "Hi."
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away...
Life is not a race. Take it slower.
Hear the music before the song is over.
