Slow Dance

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl
Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE POEM Have you ever watched 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 seen his sorrow? Ever lost touch,
Let the 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 everybody you know. It
is the help request of a special little girl who will soon leave
this world as she has cancer. Thank you for your effort, this
isn't a chain letter but a choice for all of us to save a little
girl that's dying of a serious and fatal form of cancer.

Please forward this to everybody you know or don't
know. This little girl has six 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 a 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
three cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy
sent this to 500 people! So I know that you can send it to at
least five or six. Just think, it could be you one day. It's not
even your money, just your time!


PLEASE PASS IT ON AS A LAST REQUEST

Dr. Dennis Shields, Professor, Department of
Developmental and Molecular Biology, 1300 Morris Park Ave., Bronx,
New York, 10461
