美丽的英语小诗：Time is short

Time is Short.

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?

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’s like an unopened gift…
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Hear the music,
Before the song is over.
