You need Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. .... This was the song for my cousin at his funeral....he was 21....everyone slow down you're all moving too fast ... This song makes me want to get a game of Hacky-Sack going.

Please slow down, but gently 

Slow  down, but gently please,

It's a way of putting a mind  at ease.

 OM, OM, breathing deeply,   the Mantra flows

when  life too fast around  us goes

so that  we can barely smell the roses,

 and perhaps it's also  time for Yoga poses

 breathing slowly and deeply in  a Pranayama.

while confronting  Life's  bewildering panorama:

To have a good stretch

 is better than to qvetch.

But please  go gently into each new posture,

because  trying too hard could really cost ya.

Too much twisting and untwisting

like a human pretzel

 might make you into   a  rusting Edsel.

Plus, also don't forget the risk

of slipping a disc,

and ,after ruining your hips,

 feel like you should  cash in your chips.
