Song of the Day


Fleetwood Mac: Landslide

Sara Bareilles: In your Eyes (Cover)


S L O W D A N C E:

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.

This is a poem I found on the internet that gets passed around to raise hope for cancer patients. I dedicate this poem to my step-dad who has been battling with cancer for 8 years now. He is one of the strongest men I know and although things are starting to get worse I know he will continue fighting because that's who he is. Here's to many more days and memories. Love you Bo!
