Slow Dance
    This is a 
poem written by a teenager with cancer.
    She wants to see how 
many people get her poem.
    It is quite the poem. Please pass 
it
on.

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

It was sent
by
    a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing 
    statement AFTER THE POEM.




    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 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.

Dear All: PLEASE pass
this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don’t know! It is the
request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to
cancer.
    This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her 
    dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life 
    to the fullest, since she never will.
She’ll never make it to
prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her
own.
    By you sending this to as many people as possible, you 
    can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this 
    is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her 
    treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that 
we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It’s
    not even your money, just 
your time!
    PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST 
REQUEST.

Department of
Developmental and Molecular Biology

York 10461
