Slow Down

"Slow Down"

Don't talk so fast.
Slow down.
Breathe.

Breathe.

Don't run right by.
Slow down.
Stop.

Stop.

Don't cruise right through
Listen
Hear

Hear

Don't waste the moment
~Seize it~
~Taste it~
~Savor it~
~Live it~

Take the time to watch the clouds
And hold your sweetheart tight
Share a simple moment
Share a simple sight

Share a meal with your kids
And tell them that you care
No matter their age
They need to know you're there

Go see what they enjoy and their joy might spread
Watch what makes them laugh and smile
Watch them as they grow up fast
And slow the process down a little while

Moments last, but time never will
In our hearts and minds
Move too fast
And you will soon be too blind

Look at the world
As an awesome place
A place to appreciate and enjoy
Like you can't at a fast pace

So stand outside to feel the wind
Or let the sun shine in your hair
Tell everyone around you
Just how much you care

Moments make up this life
That fleets from our tiny hands
But how fast time really goes
Is at each man's command

So don't walk so fast.
Slow down.
Breathe.

Breathe.
