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.

Molecular Biology
