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.
------------ -------- 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 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.
