Hva haster vi etter? Er vi som Alf Prøysen sier, redd for å komme for sent til livets ende?
Dette diktet skal være skrevet av en ung kreftsyk jente som visste hun ikke ville klare seg.
>>> 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 it slower
>>> Hear the music
>>> Before the song is over.
