Apparently, I can start resembling a shaken coke bottle, according to D =)
*blank look* <- that was my reaction ... I hadn't the slightest clue what that meant.
He says a shaken coke bottle looks just like any other coke bottle. Only when you open the bottle, do you realize it is different,...
Then Mr Wee smsed me this (read: look down a couple of lines).
I absolutely love it =)
Makes you think about your daily life and how time simply passes us by.
We're so caught up in the rat race, just struggling to survive, that we forget our loved ones, who sometimes pass us by.
It's as though we spend our lives focusing on each step we take, forgetting to look up and check what's ahead. By the time realization hits us in the face, a loved one gone, or even youth gone by, you can only look back with regret.
Therefore, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” ~ Mahatma Ghandi
How apt. =)
Have you ever watched the 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.
