Dear Friends:

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.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.  PLEASE pass this mail on to everybody you know.  It is the request of a special little girl who will soon leave this world as she has cancer.  Please send this to everyone you know or don't know.  This little 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

In Good Health;
