Slow Dance

Slow Dance


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

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 sharing this with 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. Dr. Dennis Shields, Professor Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology 1300 Morris Park Avenue Bronx, New York 10461

Please friends lets email this to as many folk as possible

Blessings and hugs

Sometimes we need a little dying girls 'Slow Dance' to realise how precious our life is. Ask yourself this question 'How fast am I dancing every day?' God Bless!

We should realise that every day is a "new day". If there were no tomorrows, today would be perfect. Let's make today a "new day" a new beginning another chance from GOD to make right. Let's give GOD a perfect day! May GOD grant you a "new day" today and every other day!

We must realise that every day is "a new day". If there were no tomorrow, today would be perfect. Let's treat each day that GOD give us as "a new day", another chance another day to make right. Let's make our "new day" perfect for GOD, the ONE who created us. May GOD grant you "a new day".
