Assuming Lies Indeed Convert Into Actions

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.

This few lines- while it is true. I cannot totally agree, this is exactly what the world demands from us. We have but to deliver, certain sacrifices must be made.

Today is teacher's day, the celebration at school was made up of 2 components. The concert and the carnival. The concert wasn't exactly spectacular- so sad to say, partially due to the less then entertaining Emcees, partially due to the audience themselves. The carnival time was spent huddled under desks in a dark room covered by trash bags. Huh? Haha, 1A02 and 1A03 collaborated to set up a haunted house for the carnival! Yes, a haunted house (out of the 2nd floor of block C haha) While not absolutely scary (most of the males going through were just jerks) it sufficed in scaring a few good number of other visitors including teachers ^_^ and we made a whooping $194 out of the entrance collections! Cleanup was a pain but it was FUN! Whooo-

Rushed back to PCSS totally unprepared. Yet somehow, the nostalgia just wasnt there, it was as if nothing had changed. We were almost all the same- Remembered quite a few faces and met a few more people I didn't think I'd see ever again in my life.

but one of the skits during the concert did touch me. Done by the teachers ironically. Three, very touching but woefully unrealistic stories, it was just the thing I needed to break down the stone walls arond my heart. Sixteen Going on Seventeen... that song, just 2 years ago. Oh my, the memories come flooding back like a tsunami, washing me away. No... the 04 era is locked up, no longer to be released. Why do you still plauge me so, am I not pathetic enough?

I love that song, this would be the year that I can sing it and mean it in context. But the recepient... will never... will never...

Please, forgive me and Smile again.
