This is very true, don't take light hearted.   < TR>       Slow 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. 0A 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.  ------------  -------- FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL  COUNT. 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. Dr.  Dennis Shields, Professor Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology 1300 Morris Park Avenue Bronx ,  New York  10461
