Slow Dance
This is apoem written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to see howmany people get her poem.
It is quite the poem. Please passit
on.This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York HospitalIt was sent
bya medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM. SLOW DANCEHave
you ever watched kidsOn a merry-go-round?Or
listened to the rainSlapping on the
ground?Ever followed a butterfly's erraticflight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fadingnight?
You better slow down. Don't dance sofast.
Time is short.
The music won'tlast.
Do you run through each dayOn the
fly?When you ask How are you?Do you hear the
reply?When the day is done Do you lie in yourbed
With the next hundred choresRunning
through your head?You'd better slowdown
Don't dance so fast.Time is
short.The music won't last Ever told yourchild,
We'll do it tomorrow?And in your
haste,Not see hissorrow?
Ever losttouch,
Let a good friendship dieCause you
never had timeTo call and say,'Hi'You’d
better slow down.Don’t dance so fast.
Time isshort.
The music won't last.When you run so
fast to get somewhereYou miss half the fun of gettingthere.
When you worry and hurry through yourday,
It is like an unopened gift....Thrown
away.Life is not a race.Do take it
slowerHear the music Before the song isover.
------------ --------FORWARDED E-MAILS
ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.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 thatwe can at least send it to 5 or 6. It’s
not even your money, justyour time!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LASTREQUEST.
