I'm sorry it's so long, but please comment?
Update:SLOW DANCE
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?
Or gazed at the sun into the
fading night?
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 i t
slower.
Hear the
music
Before the song is
over.

Very good. You should sell this poem as lyrics for a song.
I am very fussy when it comes to poetry but you have tweaked my senses. I like the structure and the ryhyme. The story unfolds and I've learnt a lesson. Thank you.
Nah, it's not long at all. You should mine,
I just slowed down,
my pace to read it.
Sometimes the longest, that seem unworthy of reading are the best ones to capture your soul...so we often miss on the best.
It's....
what I call beautiful poetry.
I think it's a wake-up call for people.
Life is as simple, if you make it simple. We've made things so perplex that even the thought of making it simple is perplexed.
Beautiful, again.
Stay safe. And sane.
very good, it reminds me in a way of this email i got. i could send it to you if you send me ur email. it is an amazing thing.
i agree with alot of the things in there. like running to work. when ever i go some where i wake up early so i dont have to rush.
like in school i am all ways on time because i leave 20 minutes early and take my time getting there.
this also reminds me of the movie, peaceful warrior.
I agree with Mister Enlightened.
This is amazing, really.
It kept we awake the whole way through, & I wish there was more.
