READTHIS :D

hey guys.
i came across this really nice passage,
while checking my email.

to realize
the value of a sister
ask someone who doesn't have one.
to realize
the value of ten years
ask a newly divorced couple.
to realize
the value of four years
ask a graduate.
to realize
the value of one year
ask a student who has failed a final exam.
to realize
the value of nine months
ask a mother who gave birth to a still born.
to realize
the value of one month
ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
to realize
the value of one week
ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
to realize
the value of one hour
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
to realize
the value of one minute
ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
to realize
the value of one second
ask a person who has survived an accident.
to realize
the value of one millisecond
ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics
time waits for no one.
treasure every moment you have.
you will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.
to realize the value of a friend
lose one.

and hilda shared this poem w/ us,
during net yesterday.

slow dance

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 into the sun into the fading night?
you better slow down, dont dance so fast.
time is short, the music wont last.

do you run through the 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, dont dance so fast.
time is short, the music wont 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 the time, to call and say hi.
you'd better slow down, dont dance so fast.
time is short, the music wont 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.

its meaningful (:
