A Poem by a girl Dying of Cancer......

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.
