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'd 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’s not a race
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Just For Today
 

smile at a stranger
listen to someone's heart
drop a coin where a child can find it
learn something new, then teach it to someone
tell someone you're thinking of them
hug a loved one
don't hold a grudge
don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
look beyond the face of a person into their heart
make a promise, and keep it
call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi"
show kindness to an animal
stand up for what you believe in
smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
use all your senses to their fullest
cherish all your TODAY'S
 

RAINBOW

If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you and share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain You could call your very own A place to find serenity A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be what I know best- A friend who's always there.
