SLOW DANCE

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.

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.

Introducing the First-Ever Film on Self-Help Icon and Affirmations Pioneer~ Louise L. Hay ~

What if you are creating your life story with the very thought you are thinking right now?

Many people have changed their lives—turning financial ruin into abundant prosperity, transforming troubling relationships into loving bonds, and even healing what experts called untreatable diseases. These people aren't scholars, scientists, prophets, or millionaires.

They're just like you and me—everyday people who face heavy challenges throughout their lives—whether it's our jobs, our families, or our inner selves. How did they do it? They discovered the wisdom of self-help pioneer Louise Hay and learned how to use the power of a single thought.

Now it's your turn!

Louise Hay—compassionate teacher, renowned author, and much loved founder of Hay House—will teach you how to create your future in the first-ever film about her extraordinary life and amazing life work in You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.

Watch the trailer of Louise's movie!

The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are nosecond-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause die.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates areburied with their owners.
