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 it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Hmn. I assume the original author has a name, unless you're willing to have us all believe you found it on a bit of paper, fluttering anonymously in the wind of chance . . ?
Its a good poem, yes - what else do you want me to say? Don't look at the legal copyright law you may well have broken beneath the words you copied?
Think about it . . .
And then get it removed. |

woah, calm down neptunes. the lady said it wasn't her poem and she just wanted to share it. fair enough be cross if she was claiming it and taking credit and you caught her out but she's said it's not her work. i've read it before too, it goes round on emails at work and i wouldn't be able to name an author either.
thanks for sharing x |

In reply to neptunes_first...she was only trying to share the poem with people, what is so wrong about that?! Also since when did you feel the need to tell people what they should and should not do?
Just go away and leave people as they see fit! She did nothing wrong and you had a go at her! Just because you have writen countless poems and comments etc does not mean you are the "Queen of the board"!
