Got this on the imail. It is one of those chains I guess but it is worth a read.. I deliberately took out the reference to the doctor just in case. It looks real though and whatever it is, it is a good poem I think.
Slow Dance
This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to see how many people get her 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!
